Thanks!

So if I wanted my spindle to move to coordinates X-4.3, Y-2.0 after the piece is cut, I would insert the following at the end of the G-Code?

G0 X-4.3 Y-2.0

Is this correct?

Either...how do I add it manually? I know I can open up the actually G-Code in a text program. What would be the text I insert at the end?

Thanks,

I have a part that I cut out of aluminum which is locked down on a jig. I usually cut out 50 - 100 pieces of the same part at a time. My usual routine is to wait until the G-Code is done running, wait for the spindle to raise 0.25 inch per the G-Code, and then manually jog the spindle over to a negative X coordinate so I have room to unscrew the part from the jig. I would like to add the negative X coordinate in the G-Code so I don't have to push the "left arrow" and manually move the spindle out of the way. I would think there is a way for me to add a line at the bottom of the G-Code that does this as part of the the whole G-Code. As an example, I would like to have the spindle move to the coordinates of Z0.25, X-4.3, and Y-2.0 once the part is cut out...how do I do this?

Thanks!
