Drilling w/o cycle

[Anonymous]

Hey guys! Is there anyway I can run my drilling operation via point to point instead of with a cycle such as a G81 or G82? If so, can one of you nice folks inform me of the ways of the world? Thanks!

-EDIT-
To clarify, I want my peck drilling to be in individual Z moves.

Yes, this can be done, it's called "Expanded cycle". What machine and Post processor are you using?

-EDIT-

Snippet of code from my Doosan lathe post:

  case "boring":
      writeCycleClearance(plane, cycle.clearance);
      localZOutput.reset();
      writeBlock(
        gCycleModal.format(plane == 19 ? 89 : 85),
        getCommonCycle(x, y, z, rapto, true),
        conditional(P > 0, pOutput.format(P)),
        feedOutput.format(F),
        lockCode
      );
      break;
    default:
      expandCyclePoint(x, y, z);
    }
  } else { // position to subsequent cycle points
    if (cycleExpanded) {
      expandCyclePoint(x, y, z);
    } else {
      var step = 0;
      if (cycleType == "chip-breaking" || cycleType == "deep-drilling") {
        step = cycle.incrementalDepth;
      }
      writeBlock(getCommonCycle(x, y, z, rapto, false), conditional(step > 0, peckOutput.format(step)), lockCode);
    }
  }
}

woaaaa, I will bookmark this one.  When I had to do this, I was drawing lines and using trace!

I'm using the "Generic 3 Axis" machine with the "FANUC/fanuc" processor.
