Something like yup. And the source does have some code that suggests the original developer, whoever it was, wanted to ask the suer to measure, enter the size and then get everything calculated and retested - in multiple iterations if needed. It just never got finished I think. That's why I am interested in if anyone ever used this specific feature ot not, before I remove it - just to make sure I don't remove something that some is depending on. Best regards, Igor2
