Understood. Do you know where the tool ends up after the entry move on these controls? Is it like the alternative entry implementation I described, or something else? > 2.

I agree about the error and I would love for someone to figure out how to make all the errors better. The errors talk about the geometry of corners, since the code deals in the geometry of corners that are made by adjacent moves. The code is very much "study corner situation" and then "move the endpoints around" with a bit of "add extra moves" thrown in. So errors are detected in these steps. But the user maybe isn't even thinking of corners and endpoints - the user is thinking of a part profile. It's a common mistake programmers make: give errors that represent what has gone wrong in the code, instead of what's wrong with the user's request or intent. (But note this may require mind-reading.) Input is welcome. Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
