Greetings.

Trying to write a small application to execute blocks in a .gcode file.

Is there any "accepted standard" of execution order?

Found the below example for a specific cnc controller type.

regards Knut

2. Set feed rate mode (G93, G94, G95).
3. Set feed rate (F).
4. Set spindle speed (S).
5. Select tool (T).
6. Change tool (M6).
7. Spindle on or off (M3, M4, M5).
8. Coolant on or off (M7, M8, M9).
9. Enable or disable overrides (M48, M49).
10. Dwell (G4).
11. Set active plane (G17, G18, G19).
12. Set length units (G20, G21).
13. Cutter radius compensation on or off (G40, G41, G42)
14. Cutter length compensation on or off (G43, G44, G49)
14.5 Do scaling G50/G51.
15. Coordinate system selection (G54, G55, G56, G57, G58, G59, G59.1, G59.2, G59.3).
16. Set path control mode (G61, G61.1, G64)
17. Set distance mode (G90, G91).
18. Set retract mode (G98, G99).
18.6 Do G68/69 coordinate rotation. Scaling before rotation.
18.7 Do G15/16 polar coordinates.
19. Go to reference location (G28, G30) or change coordinate system data (G10) or set axis offsets
(G92, G92.1, G92.2, G94).

20. Perform motion (G0 to G3, G33, G34, G38.x, G73, G76, G80 to G89), as modified (possibly) by G53.

21. Stop (M0, M1, M2, M30, M60).
22. M97, M98, M99

Exchause me, but I wonder if my question was unclear/not proper or asking for secret informations here.

Just trying to find out why no one pay attention to answer

Thank You

Frankly I was struggling trying to understand what you were asking for. Also, it seem to me that this question is not related to slic3r, and would probably be better posted in one of the more general forums.

Yes there is an execution order.
The same with CNC milling.
First line read is the instruction, then the second. Each line has different parameters for that particular instruction, so all parameters are taken into account at the same time.
ie:
G0 X2.00 Y0.00 Z6.00 F2300

You'll go to X = 2; Y= 0; Z=6 at the speed 2300m/min (or what ever unit) at the same time.

It isn't math where you have to think is 6*2/2^5+2*2 equal to (6*2/2^5)+(2*2) or (6*2/2^5+2)*2

Does it help? Or am I not understanding the question?

hello and thank You for answer.
Yes it was something like that.

My questing is about the execution order of parameters.

Just wondered if there exists an "agreement" amongs the developers of slicing applications, in howto write out parameters on each line?

ie: could this line : G0 X2.00 Y0.00 Z6.00 F2300 be written (in gcode file)
as F2300 G0........

I also wonder if the arguments of the parameters are valid until new arguments are input? (like in cnc, if I understood it right).
(ie. x=2.00 UNTIL a new argument of X is input?

thank You.
