Title: "Relative" Move
Post by: ScrappyScooter on February 19, 2009, 12:42:56 PM
Is it possible to move an Axis in "relative" coordinates?

For example, If Y axis is at 70, I would like to enter -10 into the MDI that would move the axis to 60.

Thanks
Scrappy

I have found G91.

Thanks

Is it Possible to make the G91 temporary (for just the one move)?

Yes, just issue a G91, make the move, then issue a G90.
