I finally got some time to play around with this. Simply changing the read_x function to halve the X axis seems to work. I had a look through a Fanuc lathe manual and that appears to be exactly what they do. Axis already shows the X radius and diameter so it doesn't really need changing. DTG uses radius as well but as it is a blended value, it wouldn't really be sensible for it to work in diameter anyway.
Currently I have hard-coded the read_x function to halve the X value which is of course not the correct way to go. The read_XX functions have access to the system parameters so it seems the sensible way to go would be to dedicate a parameter and maybe a G-code for diameter mode. Is there a list anywhere of the system parameters currently in use?
