No practical experience yet since my emc, etc is not running:
Because of the kind of things I do.....replicate parts made 150 yrs. ago....I tend to think in term of the ops that a horizontal
mill does: which leads to a object (entity) library: inside and outside hemi-cylinders, holes, pockets, etc. with parameters to
define x, y, z, centerline, tilt, etc. as needed. Now all I need is the solid geometry package that supports this. :-)

Anyone else think along these lines?
