I'd think the code would be used for inspection moving the tool out of the way and posing the work so it can be viewed and gauged maybe so, for the user who does custom work always ( like mold shops ) they wouldnt know when that inspection might be needed but in production shops ( say turbine blades ) it would easily be known when to inspect during a sequence of many operations. would it handle multiple moves? oh, turn off the flood ? my2c thanks TomP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
