What would be the Gcode to move an axis 100mm in a positive direction from where ever it is. I dont mean a Gcode telling the axis to go to a set spot like "G0z100" I mean a code that will say move 100 from where ever you are now. Is this possible?

Try
G91 G0 Z100
G90
This just tells the machine to make an incremental move (g91).
Dont forget to switch back to absolute (g90)

Thanks 4 that.

U and W commands (incremental) could be useful. For example:
G00 U-1.8 W-3.1
means that the tool should move -1.8 along the X axis and -3.1 along the Z axis (inches or mm) from the point where the tool was before the execution of the command.
I don't think Mach2 supports this, though.

Sorry, I really had no idea...
Hey Tex, I guess I should have mentioned Mach2 in the question.
I think Ger must have already known thats what I use.
Thanks for your contribution though.
