Good point about the arcs, I'd overlooked that. Not that any slicing software generates arcs today, but I'm hoping to actually use arcs or nurbs at some point, which does push the coordinate transform to the real-time thread in one way or another (either in motion or in the kinematics module). -- Charles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
