    Modal question

    Hello all...been a while.

    I don't use modal on my Camsoft plus but tried it today.
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    Here's the code

    M3
    G83Z-1.F2.R.1Q.1
    G0 Y1.
    M80
    M5

    It just drills the hole where it is and does not drill one at Y1. Spindle stops.

    Have I gone dumb???

    Is there a Modal Enable toggle somewhere in Camsoft?

    Thanks if anyone can help.

    Nelson

    oh yes, I have Plus

    This is an easy one. The G0 on the G0 Y1 line cancels the G81. To make it modal leave the G0 off.
