Works in progress / Re: New IPS (Interactive Programming System) Professional Screen for Turn

If I may suggest something, I'd love to see the new Tool DRO, Brian implemented for Turn, being added to it. This OEM DRO 246 and it shows current tool and current offset in the format xxyy. Adding a 'T' in the formatting string makes it look even better: Txxyy.
I have a good idea on this. How about I give you the option of what DRO to use for the"CURRENT TOOL" display at the top? Basically a radio button selection for the old style DRO or the new one on the settings screen tab.

Also, as I have a servo motor on my spindle and do (kind of) rigid tapping and indexing I would like to see a rotary axis DRO as suggested above by Rich.
I would love to hear more about this I was thinking about creating a tapping wizard for the IPS system for people with this ability.
As for the rotary axis DRO... I may create a duplicate screen when I got this finished with 3rd axis support.
