Okay so far.

See G12,G13 with plane select keyword(G17,18,19). My quick google shows that g2 g3 now
take a ramping value on some controls.

In the case of G12, G13 on older controls, it was basically a G2/3 move with an infeed or
ramping down/up per revolution. That is if I remember this correctly.
