put the revised # value in square brackets -Thank you! I wonder how many others besides me puzzled over this one? I vaguely remember years ago dabbling in GW-BASIC and the # declared a double-precision variable, a $ was a string etc. But arithmetic operations used parentheses not square brackets.
#100 =[#100+0.010]

You can have anything you want on any axis, think about a 4th axis its not the same as X,Y or ZTrue, but this only reinforces Rich’s concern, since there are feed rate issues associated with certain linier/rotary interpolation moves.
