If you switch to R, search for breakarcs and set it to 2 (break at quadrants) to avoid error P/S 34 - Illegal plane select . Part 4: The MP Language – Advanced Logic Once you are comfortable with swapping strings, you need to understand MP logic. It resembles a hybrid of C and BASIC. Conditional Statements if toolchng = 1, [ pbld, n$, "M01", e$ pbld, n$, "G28", "Z0.", e$ ] else, pbld, n$, "G00", "Z.1", e$ Lookup Tables If your machine uses custom M-codes for different tool types (e.g., M133 for live tooling), use a lookup table.
