Drilling cycles

[inflateable]

I'm back to doing some milling in edgecam, and it's been a while and i'm rusty.

I'm stuck with my drilling cycle:
G81 G98 R5.0 Z-5.5 F75.0

I want the G98 to be a G99 (governing whether the retract height is to the R plane or to the initial plane).
There's a setting somewhere in the drill dialogue box to choose, but can I find it? Nope.

Anyone?

All you have to do is put a value in the retract filed and it will output a G98. If it's left blank then you get a G99

Hi
In the depth tab in the drilling dialog box make the figures in the level & retract equal to the clearance figure and you will get a G99, if the combined figures of the level & retract are less than the clearance you will get a G98.
Hope this is helpful.

THIS IS WHAT SHOULD BE IN THE APPROPRIATE CODE CONSTRUCTOR BOX


[DELETE][BLKNUM][PECKGCODE][XMOVE][YMOVE][ZDEPTH][PECKDEPTH][RPLANE][CYCLEZFEED][RETRACTGCODE]

WHICH YEILDS THE CODE....
N6 G73 Z-?.?? Q0.? R0.1 P0.5 F?.?? G98

Ah ha! That's the one. And people say Edgecam is unintuitive..pah.
