The preview isn't actually "wrong" for a rear-toolpost lathe, rotational symmetry being what it is, so it is usable. For lathes that have both toolposts it might be nice if the preview drew the profile + the mirror profile. If youhave both, then I seem to recall that negative X-values display (and work) correctly. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
