I have been using embedded command and find them very useful. I need help on a current problem.

My primary program Z0 is located at the top of the work. The program I wish to embed has Z0 at the bottom of the work. The embedding I currently use is only 2D, is it possible to offset Z also so the program will run in one keystroke?

I think that VA,,,%3+.75 would work, assuming you are using 3/4 material. In human terms that's Value of locAtion, X no change, Y no change, Z add .75 to the current location. I haven't tried it but it seems it should work.

P.S. don't forget to -.75 after the program to reset your Z or you'll be routing through your spoil board.
