Also you can create an initialization macro.....see Appendix "C" / page 57 in the Threading on the Lathe manual wihch can be found
in members docs.
Rich,
Thanks for the reply, but you are kidding me right? Are you saying there is no Radio-button pair for setting Inch or Metric?
Little wonder I am having so much trouble wading through this. I understand this is very powerful software but the user interface is left greatly wanting. As a programmer of some 30 years experience and a tech writer of 6 more, I think I am eminently qualified to comment. It is a pity it is so difficult to get around. I shall be spending my money elsewhere.
Thanks for this and the other reply.
