Greetings; Someone on irc said touchoff gives a choice when you have entered the first number. Not on 2.6.7, the only thing it says is radius, so I have to keep a pocket calc, to do a / 2.0000 on the size the caliper reads for the actual touchoff data entry. IOW, it takes radius inputs only. Putting X in diameter mode changes nothing in re this.
It seems to me I ought to be able to enter the diameter if I am running in that mode, or the radius if running in that mode. But touch off, and the dro which does follow the touch off if you enter radius,it almost works. I say almost, but the ending small end diameter is well oversized. The scale factor on this x axis has been tested and verified several times. But starting at 38mm diameter, and ending at 22.0000mm in diameter, the one cut I did today without it crashing, using a while [#<_x_tmp> gt #<_x_end>] (where #<_x_end> = 22.000000mm) ended normlly at about 25.75mm in diameter, with half the expected 3/4" a foot taper. So somethings all aglay. And fighting with a touchoff that demands a radius regardless of the G7/G8 mode set is a prime distraction as it derails any train of analytical thought one might have when looking for the real problem. Frustrating even. Thanks Guys. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
