VERY cool solution! So, you CAN convert the scale factor using a text
editor and the math capability of LinuxCNC. I just wasn't thinking
far enough outside the box.

This is what I have ended up doing. (Though I haven't tried any actual

You can't set the active plane to XA.
You can have a linear A-axis, but the only planes that arcs can be in
are XY, YZ, ZX, UV, VW, WU.
There is an "arbitrary arcs" branch somewhere, but that attem

I wasn't sure what to do with the G-code, so I put it on the forum. I
wrote a little G-code sub for each digit, then uses a computed-call to
engrave the numbers. So I e
