We have to be clear about what we are talking about.
Are we talking the tool table database or the tool table interface?
The database holds the info that linuxcnnc needs, in the format that most
suits it.
The interface can display that information anyway it likes as long as it saves
it in the format linuxcnc expects.
You can have the tooltable interface (tooledit.tcl or AXIS etc) display the
axis in diameter with the current scheme - but you would have to modify
those editor programs.
To add wear offsets to the tooltable database is different. We would have to
modify linuxcnc to understand the meaning of the wear offsets.
Whether linuxcnc applies the offsets as diameter or radius is fairly
unimportant,
(as long as consistent) because the tooleditor program can convert them to
whatever you like.
I think Andy was talking mostly of the tool table database.
A database that is flexible would seem advantageous.
A database that can hold extra information that linuxcnc doesn't need might be
nice.
if we send just the info that changed rather then it all would that help with
the NML
limit?
