    Mach 3 - Manually Command Position?

    Is there a way in Mach 3 to type in a position for an axis and have the machine move to that position? Or does the axis only respond to G code?

    Thanks.

    Go to the MDI screen, click in the MDI box, or it "enter", and type in a line of g-code. When you hit enter again, it will execute the line of code.
