Well, it may be by human writing : g0 x0 y0 z50 # go fast to pos x0 y0 z50 g1 x0 y0 z0 # go to machining speed to from previous pos to this one g1 x100 y0 z0 # and so on... or with special software making conversion from cad to Gcode If your question was "How shall I program it to do strait line", the answer is buildin with the control software (EMC), that will do all needed conversion (you need to configure and tweak it first!), as a end user, you only give final Cartesian coordinate.
