Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DRO questions

Jan,
OK I understand, but just how would you determine that X,Y is correct without
first having entered data for it... ? Entering data by the DRO keyboard has to be
cumbersome and error prone.
Anyway, I'm planning to allow the user to upload a file of X,Y coords. to the DRO.
Once the array is loaded, I can see how it is used.
Best Regards
Hans W
