Re: Dolphin support for step/direction?

Right, I understand, sorry. The Dolphin system has in many respects
been created by its users, if there is something that you think is
missing from the CAD or CAM, tell Dolphin, if they think it is
something that will benefit other users, it may well be added. I
think that this would be a good feature to add.
You can type in values in the input box at the lower left of the
screen, select rectangle, (make sure absolute is selected) place the
cursor in the inut box and type X0Y0 Press enter, type X2Y3 Press
enter.
Have you tried the auto 1-hit function on intersect/chamfer/fillet
yet? Excellent.
Which post processor to use, I have to say I am not familiar with the
PNC or DeskNC, send me a sample program off list, and I will have a
look through their library of posts for a suitable match.

Hope this helps
