Also, +for Rc=1 operations that produce a result (in RT or FRT) and corresponding CR, it is +the INT/FP result to which the elwidth override applies, *not* the CR. +This therefore inherently places Rc=1 operations firmly out of scope as far as a "meaning" for elwidth on CRs is concerned. As mentioned TBD, this leaves crops etc. to have a meaning defined for elwidth, because these ops are pure explicit CR based. -- 2.30.2
