As a user, I find it a PITA for my 3D printers at least. Axis does a decent job of trying to hide this from the user, but I still get bitten quite often by "can't do that in this mode". In my case, I issue an MDI command to move to a location, then click over to the manual tab so I can extrude a bit of filament and zero the A axis, but if I click (just on the tab, not actually clicking to move any motors) before the move completes the machine stops dead in it's tracks and I get a "you can't do that" error. :( ...so I run the MDI command again, wait patiently for it to complete, and _THEN_ click on the tab to start jogging an axis. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlHjHPAACgkQLywbqEHdNFxRAwCfc2wo5yUOnvfzcnV2LA5uZhC2 s2gAn0I33DPS0BQ/POnSSnbBZw99JQL/ =yVff -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
