I've got that working now with a very high degree of repeatability. But since I have the "align" kit of subroutines installed and hooked up to pyvcp buttons, it occurs to me that I need 4 more buttons to go with it, a G38.2 based search button, one for each quadrant of the compass, so I can manually drive the machine to be close to the edge of the workpiece, click on one of those 4 buttons, followed by align_start, then move it out and down the chosen edge, click on that same search_direction button and when its found, click on a align-x or align-y buttons, which will then rotate the co-ordinate map so its square to the workpiece.
