Lathe Macros

I have only got as far as looking at the top image in the SVG file.

It seems to require that the right-hand end of the work is zero. That is not the way that my macros work, and I see it as not an improvement.

All my macros begin at the current (jogged-to) tool position and finish at specified Z and X values.
This means that the workpiece origin can be anywhere on the part, which is rather more flexible than what you appear to have done.

If I was doing it again, I would probably try harder to generate the graphics live rather than use fixed images.
But I would definitely not use the overlaid table.
I did, in development, have a scheme whereby the numeric entry boxes were actively scaled in position as the image was resized. I think I should have stuck with that idea.

alkabal: As a general note. I am sorry that I don't spend as much time looking at your prolific work as you would like, but very nearly all my spare time is already taken up with other bits of LinuxCNC. I (and other developers) can be expected to answer clearly stated questions, but checking out a new feature and working out what it is meant to do takes time. And working out how to test / evaluate it takes more time. Time that we might not have.
