I was actually meaning feed at the rate defined by the parameter oo, but how is the parser to know that is what I wanted rather than there being a missing S (for example) in G1 Sfoo Z100 (not a totally random case, my machine has a very reluctant S key, I very often type M31000 in MDI) I think we should keep the # for all variables. It is what humans reading G-code expect to see. A linked point is that we seem to be discussing mainly human-generated G-code, whereas a large proportion of G-code executed by EMC2 machines is machine-generated. As well as discussing machine-parsing we also might need to consider machine-generation. -- atp The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
