Thank you for finding this so quickly. I have done date engraving in the past but only on haas machines. Unfortunately I am doing this project on a handful of Fanuc machines.
The dot = month is the system I was instructed to use.
I am looking through that exact book right now looking for the answer as well.

Hello. I am going to explain this the best I can.
I manufacture firearms components. Bolts, carriers, gas tubes, gas valves, gas blocks, receivers, hand guards etc. I am looking for a way to identify our parts from others as well as label when they were manufactured. I do not have time to engrave the company name, and date of manufacture though. So I need to develop a system to easily identify both pieces of information.
I was thinking about putting a dot with a drill X distance from zero to indicate the month of manufacture.
The X dimension would change along with the month.
Something like:
X= MONTH# 1 (JAN) =.1
2 (FEB) = .15
3 (MAR) = .2
ETC...
G81 X#### Z-0.01 R0.1 F10
Would it be something like IF P???? (MONTH PARAMETER) = 1 THEN #### = .1 ?
I don't mess with macros much, which is why I'm here. Hopefully this is possible.
Thank you in advance.

I can feel we're getting closer.
Is there a month variable parameter that I can call up? I cannot trust the operators to change the number of the month on time.
