This is incorrect. They are invalid in the G18 plane iff you don't have a Y axis (because G18 cycles peck or drill along Y!) I can imagine that on a lathe you can usefully use cycles in at least G17 (Z axis drilling) G17.1 (W axis = tailstock or second turret drilling?) or G19 (X axis = peck parting?) > Would it make sense to skip the plane check when the INI states that > the machine is a lathe? Always doing the cycles as if you were in G17 would be a trivial change, but you'd lose those other capabilities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
