As usual Ed, you are a lifesaver. Thank you very much. Now I am down to two problems with this teeny little pcb, one with the machine at tool change time that I have a gage under construction to alleviate that particular headache, and the I need a line or 2 of sed code to extract all the X values from the generated code for the bottoms of the pcb's and add 2.195, the length of the board to that X value in the file, thereby offsetting the cutter back to where it cut the top side. Its doing all moves on the .bot. files in negative X from the reference point so I have to effectively move the reference point from the left front corner of the board, to the right front corner by sliding all X values 2.195" to the right, which is the length of the board. Study sed pages for a while I think unless someone has a quick and not too dirty quicky posted someplace.
