Discontinued GCode
G16 Arc Plane: Any
G16 permits free-form designation of points in space, without limiting them to an axial plane.
G16 through G19 only apply to G2.x and G3.x commands, and define the plane on which the element will be created.
Usage
G16
Parameters
N/A
Example
G16
This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
- G16 (allow element in any orientation)
G17 Arc Plane: XY
G17 restricts this element to the X/Y plane.
G16 through G19 only apply to G2.x and G3.x commands, and define the plane on which the element will be created.
Usage
G17
Parameters
N/A
Example
G17
This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
- G17 (restrict element to X/Y plane)
G18 Arc Plane: XZ
G18 restricts this element to the X/Z plane.
G16 through G19 only apply to G2.x and G3.x commands, and define the plane on which the element will be created.
Usage
G18
Parameters
N/A
Example
G18
This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
- G18 (restrict element to X/Z plane)
G19 Arc Plane: YZ
G19 restricts this element to the Y/Z plane.
G16 through G19 only apply to G2.x and G3.x commands, and define the plane on which the element will be created.
Usage
G19
Parameters
N/A
Example
G19
This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
- G19 (restrict element to Y/Z plane)
