I think that both requests were for users of metric. I don't know why they wanted more digits, though I guess if you have 0.1um linear scales you might want to get your money's worth. I would imagine it depends on the machine. 4 might be too many for a lumber mill, but not enough for a surface grinder. http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=blob;f=lib/python/rs274/glcanon.py;h=6d907d622d5f547df722f80a72da54ab7b95500a;hb=HEAD#l1319 hard-codes the numbers to 3 for metric and 4 for imperial. It looks like glcanon.py doesn't currently look in the INI file, so it is more than a one-line change. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
