Gene, I will see what I can do to leverage Git to provide this information - I may create a branch to help track this.
Please note: This is only going to impact configurations with more than one
rotational axis [ABC]
I will let this DL know when I am done.

I am having a similar problem on the lathes. Generally I just edit the file,
changinging the rotation number until it works, but then I generally have to
play with the Z offset. That doesn't always result in the backplot positions
being a match when the actual cut does match.

Bold is not a font spec that is sent to the other end in a text mail, so
I've no clue what you are adding, or to which file.

A diff file, intended to be used by patch, might be a better way to convey
what you've done, and to which file it is done to. I am assuming this patch
is for ../lib/python/rs274/glcanon.py script, but since there is not an
absolute anchor point in that string, it could be located anyplace in 75GB
of data here.
If after those points are clarified, it fixes my lathe tooltable editing
shenanigans, I'll also be thankfull Tom.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
