Just having an optional tab that could be clicked to bring up the preview, and maybe need an option for the tab to even be available would be fine. (I don't have a touch screen except on one computer which is not the one I use for machining, anyway. But, if the preview was available, I might get one and switch!)
Unlike Stuart's very well-organized shop (MPM) my level of documentation is very NON-ISO-9000. And, I often use programs that were written a year or more ago, and have to verify the correct program, how the part coordinates are to be aligned, etc. The preview helps to be sure I have the right program and know how to set it up. I SHOULD put more notes in the comments at the beginning, but I just don't do it! Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
