Tony,
With you using the AHHA controller as I mentioned before this can be
done with one line of code.
If you work out just what you need in that line it can be inserted
anywhere in the Dolphin post by using the insert command in the CAM
side. That's the sixth icon down on the inner left toolbar, looks
like (-)
If you need any more help feel free to email off list.
You may not need this though as in an aerlier post from Mike Milligan
they are putting a direct threadmilling command in the next free
upgrade.
