Mach4 General Discussion / Re: How does G30 work?

Yeah. I asked Autodesk to add the G30 as an option for safe retracts. They obliged.
I went digging in some old fanuc manuals and did some testing with the Macro Variables (Pound Variables) and found the appropriate ones. I think I had Newfangled update their manuals to match my findings; but that's been a few years. I modified the Fusion post to allow the use for a G30P2 for a tool change position.
Use G30 like G28
G91 G30 X Y Z
G90
or
G91 G30 P2 X Y Z
G90
