Gene, No worries - this fixed a visual problem I have had for a while. Looks like my change just got committed - did find another problem though - if there was a "-" applied to XYZ in GEOMETRY it would rotate the tool wrong. That will be my next proposal. -Tom

My most complex setup has a single rotary table I treat as A, but write code for according to how its mounted, and which is not plugged in 99.9% of the time. So my problem lurks elsewhere. IOW, you don't need to go to this effort on my behalf. Thanks Tom. > > I will let this DL know when I am done. > -Tom > > > I am having a similar problem on the lathes.
