>>>>>>>>>>>>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'.
