I briefly scanned your wiki page. I think you are working at a lower level of code that would not likely affect my quest for a touch off tool change feature, since these tool changes can be done manually with the current software. I think your quest is to get multiple files and MDI to live together at the same time. I imagine the touch off tool change to have only one subfile open at a time, but time may tell. The term "line number" can get a bit confusing. When I think of line numbers I think of numbered g-code blocks (which are deprecated). I like the "sloc" term so we don't get into a similar age old issue between "joint" and "axis". I suppose a user will likely never see a sloc? -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
