I have actually done that, copy/pasting an arc from one program to the current one, but it was in mm's, so I had to either recalc it, or do a G21 in front of it and a G20 after it, but in general you are correct as most won't push their luck. Easy for me since I don't usually have any luck to push so I tend to charge right in. :) Usually, I live. > I'd be glad to take a stab at it if you think such a script would be > usefull and there is not a better solution. > > Kurt Jacobson > 505-303-1933 > Sent from Mobile > > On Apr 11, 2017 9:27 AM, "Gene Heskett" <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > > Greetings everybody; > > > > I would like to be able to make my jog-wheels aware of the g20-g21, > > G7,G8 states of the interpretor so that my pyvcp stuff will switch > > its ranges from displaying inches, to millimeters as the VIEW option > > is changed from inches to mm's. > > > > Is there a debug= value in the ini file that will cause this to > > become exposed so that my jog size display will follow this display > > selection used for everything else it shows on screen.
