ah yes, i understand now the half radius thing, i read it before but it never really clicked in until now
i was assuming i was using inches with each of my codes, hence the 0.125 = 1/8 or 0.25 = 1/4, etc
im guessing there is a section in program to specify mm from cm to inches
so for example .. i assumed using a 0.5 (half inch)distance from an X plot to a Y plot, half of that radius would be 1/8 = 0.125
forgive me if im wrong, which im sure i am, couldnt you use a "X plot Y plot R 0.125" kind of code in this situation?
also, i really do apologise for all the questions, only way to learn is practice/ask ... but .. is the default measurements for Mach3 mm? or where can i see this / change the measurements to inchs
again, thanks again for the time and effort to post, dont mean to be a nusance to anyone, and it really is appreciated
Ty much
