Would someone please explain how to convert the output of the Drill file to cnc g-code? I'm using Ares from Labcenter to generate the cadcam output code. I believe it is in rs274x format. The code has no Z axis motion and no decimal points like I'm use to seeing in the G-code I normally feed to my cnc mill. There is an example of the code that Area's spits out (X+004314Y- 025547). Is this called Excellon format? This is what I would type to drill a hole at x=1, Y=2, 0.2 deep: (G01 x1 y2 z-0.2) using G-code. Thanks Brian
