I hate to complain, but its fixed so it does not work now. According to a halmeter and the axis gui additions, its working, but the motors aren't being moved. I was feeding the jog-enable signal only to the the axis.x|z.jog-enable, but have now netted it to the matching joint.0|1.jog-enable pins with no effect. jog-scale of either axis is following the dial within its limits, and it registering in the gui just fine. Then I noted that I was not driving the equ in the joint.N list, so I paralleled them in the net statements too, and my dials are now functional again. But my initial whine is still there, using the keyboard arrows makes the axis buttons in the axis left panel follow them, but activating a dial and moving the machine with it has no effect on those clickable axis tally buttons. If this is not an easy fix, I'll get used to it, and say thank you for some great software. Because I think it is great software. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
