Auto billet size gives tiny values

We have found that the billet size values are getting corrupted when the software is used outside of the UK.
This seems to be because the QuickCAM software uses Decimal Point values (.) but the country settings use something else like a comma (,)

The quick solution is to change the Decimal Symbol within windows.
On XP, you get to it from Control Panel:

start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Customise > Decimal Symbol

Just type in a decimal point . overwriting the existing entry
