KPA - I want a regular grid over the XY plane, like in most CAD applications. I have written one in OpenGL before for another app, so I will probably just move some code over. I will do major grid lines every inch, and minor grid lines everything 1/16 inch, all the way out to the machine limits. I will most likely make it adjustable for different situations, and for both imperial and metric units. I like having a grid, so I have a bit more of a reference.
cncbasher - Once I neaten up the code more, and make it easy to move to another computer for testing, I will be sure to post here. Any thoughts on how to appropriately package the new Axis code is appreciated. I don't know if I should just fork the code, and call it something different...
cmorley - Thanks. Is that person on these forums? Or do know where I can find them or their work? Yes, removing that little DRO was a little cumbersome. Doing fonts in OpenGL is just not worth the work, especially how it constantly needs to redraw the tiny DRO.
