    depth increments

    here's a short arc i've programmed as part of my self teaching lesson. my question is how do i modify this to start at Z.05 then feed down to z-.125 then finally Z-.2 incremently .075 without copying and pasting 3 times. L0100, L0103 ?

    Can I ask what is your programming example that you are working from? Your code seems quite jumbled.

    i'm wanting to cut an arc 3/8" rad. starting at point x=1.5, y=-1.25 with arc center at x=1.125, y=-1.25. the endpoint is at x=.75 , y=-1.25. start at z.05 first cut z-.075 then down to z-.2 in .125 increments. my starting point would be off the part at y-1.6. i'm trying to figure out how to do this using line call or subroutine or whatever it takes to keep from copy and paste alot. thanks for any help.
