A bit rough on an obvious newbie, John. In this case, and reading between the
lines, I'm guessing that the terminology and format of the questions stepconf
is asking are in effect, swahili to the OP, they are quite concise because of
the gui's limits. When I ran it the first time, there were several items I
didn't get right as the wording was somewhat ambiguous.
He will in time learn, if we are willing to help, but first we need to know
which question the OP is attempting to derive the answer to. I suspect we
will have to explain the 'slanguage' of machining first, on a strange word by
strange word footing. Or perhaps recommend a good tutorial. I'd say to get
a copy of the machinery handbook, but for a newbie, that nearly 2000 pages
would scare almost anyone off.
So lets suggest some good reading material? That, I'll leave to the more
widely read folks here since I'm also an amateur.
