>>>>>>>>>>>>OK let me try this again(;-) . Does emc2 generate a 4th axis(A) toolpath display. I am playing with the CD version and am generating Gcode for the A axis but I don't see the toolpath displaying the A axis rotation. I t only seems to show XYZ toolpaths.>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes, the latest version of EMC2 will show rotary axes - not perfectly as the tool moves rather than the axis, but good enough. What you need to do is to include in the [DISPLAY] section of your machine's .ini file, a line which says GEOMETRY = AXYZ - assuming you are using the conventional 4th axis as 'A'.
