Greetings all; It will still be a while before I'm ready to cut this panel on the new machine.
Can't sleep, and had the idea to use the existing holes to automaticly establish both home, and the panels length. I've measured the panels width, and established a center line for Y at half that. The mounting holes are plus or minus 0.65625 from this center line Y. So if I have to adjust the panel width, the other points follow as they are .0.60000000 from the bottom or top. Whats more of a SWAG is the mounting hole offset from the ends of the panel, which ATM I've measured at .3125" in from the ends These mounting holes are also nominally a 4mm hole at the bottom of the counter sink. In terms of a thru hole. So it occurres to me to skip cutting the outline once a good fit has been achieved. Then I want to use a variation of my hole_finder routine to "find" the lower left of one of these holes. Once that has been done, goto the matching hole on the other end of the panel and "find" that hole, and use that offset to reset #<_panel_len> a few thou, which I can then use to reset the center line. All the rest of the hole locations except the dsubs will follow along, thereby maintaining the precisely laid out appearance of all the round hole spacings. All this so the last two copies I cut can be done on the satin brushed finished OEM panel from the box kit. Purtier that way than on the side panel of a wrecked ups van complete with a decades worth of road salt etc on it. Is this a place for the G52, to effectively rehome all maps after the first hole is found. I see G92 can do the same thing but I'm not sure I want it more or less permanent. I think it would be a safer assumption if it died with the M2. However I see that G52 is current co-ordinate, while G92 is all maps, which is what I want. Sooo, looks like its G92, with cancelation stuff in the file preamble. Are there any gotchas to the idea that I should be aware of? I've already put the disable_g92_persistence in the [rs274] section. Thanks guys, have a joyous Christmas.
