I intended to test this, but haven't found the time. It seems extremely likely that the tool table units will be assumed to match the machine units. There is no field in the data to indicate the units. Any manual editing of the tool table would have to be in base machine units. The more interesting question is what happens if using the various versions of G10. I would actually expect that to do the conversions based on the current G-code units. Is that not what was observed? -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
