I believe that this is to that every pass is the same shape, so ensure that everything is the same. I am not sure that this makes any sense, given that the motion stops and waits for the index. (In fact I am not 100% certain that it does always stop, I think I might have seen it start a path before stopping, and making a slightly out-of-position cut when the index happens at just the right point) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
