I normally work in metric, so I switched the machine over to metric.
I ran into the previously reported issue with homing, and made a local change to my homing code. I expect I’ll be able to throw this away as soon as Avid makes their next update.
The other issue I ran into that is that the Avid touch plate also needs to have it’s dimensions restated in metric in the Avid setup. I just went in and did the conversion by hand, but it might be nice to rewrite things a bit so the units are clear in the input dialogue and handled correctly when the user switches over to metric settings.
You also want to watch out that you fix all the various clearances that are put in at run time, as the default inch based values will not be what you want when you go to run the touch plate probing.
Hopefully this also save someone else a bit of trouble.
Cheers,
Eric
