Hi, I took a look at the Ge Fanuc user manual and lo and behold: G50 G51 scaling.
The reason I was curious about it, was two separate machining issues. One, scaling. I have a breakout board PCB isolation milling file that I thought would look cool made real large. Suitable for wall hanging! I probably won't do it now, since it's a PITA to redo the thing from scratch, Gerber to DXF, increase size, CAM and then cut. Two, I have a small part I wanted to make a few of on some scrap pieces. I could make several in the margins of my scrap. But In order to make it happen I had to do two separate DXFs, one rotated 90 deg, and CAM them both in order to use the scrap effectively. I looked in the RS274NGC book as well as the EMC manual, and both G50/51 and G68 are absent. Not useful enough? Scale would be handy for sign makers mainly.
