gkhneyplr, 

 

What is the post you are using?  I believe its going to be a switch in the post. 

 dia_mult     : 2     #Multiplier for output on X axis (Neg. switches sign of X)

Changing the 2 to a 1 will output radius. Be sure to back up your post before making any changes to avoid loss of data.

Hi buddy, would you mind briefing a bit on this. Like what you are using and so on.. It looks a bit confusing to me.
