Hi Steve,

Not a big problem but 4 of the directions are out of sync with the axes. (b 998)

The axes end (normally) at the first or last character.
Not in the middle. :)

It would probably look cleaner without the XYZ labels at all.

My wife suggested the same thing earlier. As she's always right, I'll see if I can make it an option :lol:

Only one rose with 16 axis and 8 directions.

I'll have to keep the existing 8-axis option for Fine Offset stations which often aren't good at the 'intermediate' directions. And I'd rather not take away the 16-label version when it's almost as easy to offer it as an option.

Actually, the whole thing needs replacing by something much nicer. People keep asking me to make the code open source so that they can 'contribute', but no-one ever seems to want to write components for me; this is an ideal candidate.

No problem for me, it was just an idea. :)

If I had the know how I would help you, but I don’t know anything about writing software.
