6.4 Path Contours—Cartesian Coordinates
Straight line at rapid traverse G00
Straight line with feed rate G01 F
The TNC moves the tool in a straight line from its current position to
the straight-line end point. The starting point is the end point of the
preceding block.
U Coordinates of the end point of the straight line, if
necessary
U Radius compensation G41/G42/G40

In the MOD function, you define the number of axes that
the TNC saves in a G01 block (see "Selecting the Axes for
Generating G01 Blocks", page 561).
