This is still an outstanding issue. The original reporter is adamant that cycles should support both radius and diameter mode (and insists that other controllers do this). I don't think that diameter mode has any meaning in the context of a canned cycle. I think that the best (and "least surprise") solution is to reject canned cycles in diameter mode. This removes all ambiguity. But I really want to hear more opinions on this than the two divergent views we have now. -- 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, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
