Rapid Move - Radius and Y:
Specify the desired end point coordinate using actual position 
designations, either in absolute or incremental.
Line
Line Move:
Line Move initiates a straight-line feed motion and is used to cut a part. 
Straight-line motion occurs in one or more axes. The block may contain 
any combination of available axes.
One to four axes can be included on a block with Line Move.
X, Y, Z, and U reach the target simultaneously.
Line Move is modal, and remains in effect until canceled or 
overridden.
Line Move can be programmed in absolute or incremental, and 
follows the active mode.
Specify the feedrate of the movement on or prior to the Line Move 
block.
Conversational format:  Line
G-code format: G1
