you also might want to set the coordinate system to the value of the tool's

I have continued this subject in its own thread, because I also
think that Andy's proposal is a good one, for the reason that
it would make it very easy to make minor adjustments by
using the built-in math functions:

Even the cheapie calipers have a serial port like the $16 one I got from Harbor
Freight a few weeks ago. The manual doesn't even mention it but you can pop off
a little cover opposite the battery compartment and there it is. There are a
