Thank you Karl for the great example. A long time ago (8 years) I was starting to get into the groove of programing a Sharnoa machining center with parametric programing but, I quit that job for a better one and since then have forgotten alot. The Prototrak I use (DPM V5) is quite honestly a pleasure to use everyday. It can be programed with Gcodes in addition to conversational programing. When I have a very complex job I use OneCnc Expert and havnt had any problems. I would like to increase my skills in manual Gcode programing ,however, and that is why I am asking these questions. The machine doesnt have work offsets on the Gcode side- It does have 6 of them on the conversational side though. Anyway thanks again.....
