True Chris, I don't mind typing in the M-codes if it will save me from screwing things up. I can't imagine why anyone would require the entire coordinate system mirrored.
Off topic, this is my first time using a Fanuc controller.....with little training of course. Pretty sad, buy a brand new machine and the training I get is 2 hours with a local cnc machinist who doesn't even know how to use the drilling cycles.
I found that it was quite close to the Fadal except instead of a P value on the drill line, you have to enter a parameter in the parameters page.
Perhaps you wouldn't mind answering one more question...(probably 100 more in the future). When entering data in the parameters page, does the controller move the decimal places? For instance if I want a d-value of .5mm in my G73, would I enter the value in Parameter-5114 as 5000, 500?
Thanks for your help.....it is...priceless.(not cheap)
