\par \cf0\b0\fs16
\par \pard The G00 code executes a non cutting movement, at a rapid feedrate, to a specific co-ordinate position in the working area (operating under absolute co-ordinate movement) or when a certain distance from a previously stated position (under incremental co-ordinate movement) is programmed.
\par
\par \f1
\par A G00 command is written in the following format:
\par G00 X _ _ _ _ Y_ _ _ _ Z _ _ _ _ ;
\par where,
\par G00 is the Rapid Positioning/ Traverse code.
\par X _ _ _ _ Y_ _ _ _ Z _ _ _ _ are the X, Y and Z axis co-ordinate values.
\par
\par The axis co-ordinate moves following a G00 command can be programmed as either:
\par 1) absolute values (relative to a set datum point) following setting of the G90 code, or,
\par 2) incremental values (relative to the last stated co-ordinate in the program) following setting of the G91 code.
