For the same reasons that it is nice to have the tool table editor and not have to remember and use MDI commands. It is also nice to be able to see the values of work coordinate offsets without having to load/switch to that coordinate system. (And it is the way our machine operators are used to working with Fanuc machines.)

Probably not all that hard. It could potentially be a tab in tooledit. I am curious what the use-case is? On the rare occasions that I have wanted to do this I have used G10 in MDI. -- 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, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.sourceforge.net%2Flists%2Flistinfo%2Femc-users&data=04%7C01%7Ctoddz%40pgrahamdunn.com%7C7bc8b7cc74024a89943208d994a82d62%7C5758544c573f47cebee96c3e0806fb43%7C0%7C0%7C637704272300378355%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=MdRzuvEh38qz25tAtDRbvtsSIA8Sg7uTljWpXxVFhyI%3D&reserved=0 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
