Would a example help?
G81 is the can drilling G-code command.
In the fist line of code below G81 sets the drilling cycle for all lines to follow until a different G-code command is used, X&Y are just the start locations for the first hole, Z is the depth of the hole below zero setting, R is the "retract" height the tool will return to between holes when travelling, F is the feed rate in mm/min
The code example will drill a line of holes at 25mm apart

Here is a list of all G-codes incase you dont have them.
G and M-code reference
Rev 1.84-A2 10-15 Using Mach3Mill
the command prototypes not explicitly described as optional are required. It is an error if a
required item is omitted.

Sometimes it just works
