Hi, I have put some g21 at the begining of the program and it seems to work properly, but I ran into some new problem. I have pressed some keys unknowingly and now I am unable to enter Z values using the key board on the cnc mill. I can run my old programs with z values but can not write new programs with z values. is there any gcode or some thing which helps me to use the z values? with regards jay.
