G07: Hypothetical axis interpolation
Defines a hypothetical (virtual) axis for interpolation; used when machining symmetrical parts or to coordinate non-physical moves.
For reference only: syntax changes with the control, the post-processor and the machine parameters. Check the official manual and run a simulation before cutting. Legal notice.
