Hi John Interesting project.
Have you looked at Tormach's Path Pilot to see if it has any of the conversational features you are trying to achieve? Martin ________________________________ Just a quick note about the hole boring program I ported from C command line to Lazarus Pascal GUI. I've compiled it on LinuxCNC after the classic: sudo apt-get install lazarus Once that was installed I loaded the project I'd written under Lazarus under WIN-7 and it failed compiling with a single error. It seems the LinuxCNC version is older and doesn't support Application.Scaled:=True; Commenting this out resulted in a successful compile. The only side effect of this is the text on the window was larger and was overlapped by text boxes or other text labels. After that it ran and generated a workable version with Radius G-Codes. Like the Windows version the I,J G-Code version has issues. The information I'm trying to pass on is that with only a few issues it looks like it will be possible to create a large number of interactive tools for LinuxCNC using Lazarus which, like the original Object Pascal for Windows, makes windowed user interfaces easy to design and implement. My goal is to create the MACH3 like wizards for LinuxCNC. Ones where we just fill in the blanks for many of the simple operations that would take way longer using the CAM software. And I really don't want to become fluent in G-Code programming which to me is way too much like command line work for Linux. I'm not interested in staying in the 70's.
