Ability to Override DRO Value

[testyourdesign]

I would like the ability to override the the current DRO value by clicking on the DRO number and typing a new value. This would allow us to easily compensate for an edge finder diameter when edge finding a part.

For example a 0.20 inch diameter edge finder will have a 0.10 offset from the part origin. It would be very useful to simply enter -0.10 inch in the DRO to indicate the location of the part relative to the center of the edge finder once we touch off the side of a part with a typical edge finder.

Agreed! Could also be used to set Z to the bottom of fixture/parallels/etc. Would also be cool to be able to edge find one side, go to the opposite, edge find, then hit /2 in the DRO for the appropriate axis to find center without any math.

@testyourdesign thanks and we have added this to our development list.

@steelcogs we will be adding separate probing routines to the software.

Can we see the development list please?

We keep hearing about this wonderful list

All the above are needed.

The dro value change is most needed.

almost as important as backlash!
