Re:Geometry problem

You have to love this list- a problem that has bugged me for weeks, and
I have the answer here less than 3 hours after posting it.

Thanks everyone for the help, and in particular to Andy Anderson for the
full equations.

I should have that added to my program in a few days.

I have mentioned my program here before. My most recent addition is a
'learn' feature. With this you make the mill a kind of coordinate
measuring system. If you want to create a line segment for example, you
can manually jog the mill around with the move screen, then 'learn' a
point and return it to the program. This is great for repair work, where
you dont have any dimensions for the part. Simply bolt down the part,
jog around it as needed collecting points directly into your program.
Then run the program.

I am making my web page a more complete manual of the program. see
