I just tried this too, again with 2.5.3-131-ged3ed34 and 2.6.0-pre0-5418-gf74c5d3. As the docs say, [TRAJ]LINEAR_UNITS specifies the user units of the machine, inch or mm. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/config/ini_config.html#sub:TRAJ-section Then, [AXIS_*]MIN_LIMIT and MAX_LIMIT specify the soft limits, in those machine units. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/config/ini_config.html#sub:AXIS-section The soft limits work in both 2.5 and 2.6-pre, in both G20 and G21 mode, independent of the machine's native units from [TRAJ]LINEAR_UNITS. All of this works just like it should, in both 2.5 and 2.6-pre, as far as i can tell. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
