You could probably include all the data as "magic comments" in an actual G-code file, so this could take the form of an extra menu option to "add config data to G-code file" The read-back part could be realized now, simply by defining an input filter that parses the magic comments, but that would be a per-user config and suspect that this would be more useful as a built-in (and _writing_ the data needs to be built-in anyway) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
