Working on Gscreen and noticed odd behaviour when I had
A G21 (metric) program with a imperial readout and did a
'touch-off' ('origin offset' in Gscreen speak)
Obviously not converting properly on G20 vrs G21
So I went to AXIS to check it out there and didn't get what I expected.
tested in master
in G20
I was using sim/axis so an imperial machine.
I touched off Y at 5 while in imperial DRO mode
so 5 inches from relative origin.
it displayed 5
then toggled the DRO to metric.
I expected 5 inches converted to metric so 127mm
Instead I got 3225mm
I then again touched off Y at 5 now in metric DRO
and got 127 not 5
toggle DRO to imperial got .1969
then I G21 in MDI
still in metric I touched of 5 in metric mode
got 127
toggled to imperial got .1969
This doesn't seem right to me.
I would think toggling DRO between imperial and metric
would display the same physical distance just in two
different scales. It seems this is not the case.
In fact in the case of the imperial machine with a metric
DRO the touch off dialogue says 5mm but after, the readout
says 127
Am I missing something?
