    Exclamation Can you tell me what this means?

    When I created a file, the cadcam program I use creates a line. I do not understand what this command means.... example: T6 M6 D

    What does the D mean?? I know what the others do, (tool 6 - and tool change command) but the D???? help please

    "D" normaly stands for diameter. If it were D6 I would think it was call the D value from the offet table.

    awww, interesting?? but there is no number after it. For some reason when I use Visual mill to create code (for elogated nibs) that d is present. I do not tend to see it when i create code using bobcad--

    thanks- (gotta get back to work but gonna check this board periodicaly)

    sounds like a setting in your Visual mill post needs some tweaking to get the code you want.
