But its too cold in the shop to expect vactra to act warm enough for the feedrates, so all I am doing ATM is cutting virtual air. ;)
Thanks. As for this problem, from the clues I'm picking up here, if a global variable is created/adjusted inside of an onumber while, its gone when the corresponding onumber endwhile is finished. That is the only conclusion I can come to that fits the observed results. IMO, if its defined globally, as in #<_name>, even if its inside a "while/endwhile" then it s/b globally usable. Such seems not to be the case. So it seems to be at odds with the docs in this regard. Fixing that, could even fix the exit crashing I'm getting maybe? As in a screwed up stack?
