Definitions:
Offset = a radial displacement from the lead screw axis.
Orthogonal-offset = single shear joint.
Centered, (inline) = double shear joint.

OK, we are talking about two different things, now I see what you're calling an offset, tks!
Looking at the arms of Simpson I see that the orthogonal offset of the arm at
the shoulder is re-centered at the end effector with an orthogonal offset hub connector.
It looks like there are no variables for an orthogonal offset in the g-code preprocessor,
as it's not required if the arms are readjusted to be centered, (inline).
So arms that are centered, (inline) as I have drawn don't require any special math, correct?
Tks.
