PPG > Helical/Spiral

The Helical/Spiral section of the PPG defines how all helical and spiral motions are defined.  The only difference between an arc and a helix is that a helix has a Z value (i.e., pitch).  In fact, a helix is defined using the Arc G-Code with the added Z value.  We strongly recommended that you first read the PPG > Circle section above to understand how arcs are defined before continuing.

This is the color code for the Helical/Spiral section.
