I would much rather see a facility of some sort that would allow the reloading of just a selected few bits of an ini or hal file. As it is, it order to use my homing gage to rezero a boring bar or the very similar bar equipt to bore internal threads. This bit of doing a full shutdown and a full rezero after changing directories to the new config, whose main difference other than the home positions, in my case still TBD because its a PIMA to do mostly, when all I really need is to change the x home direction, park position so I can remove the gauge and offsets to 0.000 when the cutting edge is in the front side of the bar, opposite where its at when turning. There might be 10 items all told that would be different, the rest of the setup is still valid and if its keyword is not in the new file, it remains unchanged. That to me would be handier than bottled beer. However, the piecemeal assembly of an include per axis or function that you are proposing would appear to be a major step toward doing what I would like to do. My heavily discounted 2 cents worth, Marius. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
