If they have the same Y coordinate, you can currently do this because tool offsets have X,Z components (because of lathes). If not, work is in progress that will give more flexible tool offsets. I don't know yet whether it will be in the EMC 2.4 series of releases. If you can't use tool offsets, you could always use fixture offsets, or even G92, but it wouldn't be quite as nice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
