The AXIS preview shows the path of the loaded file. The preview is generated by running the input file through the interpreter, but "redirecting" the motion commands back to AXIS instead of sending them to the machine. When there is no input file (ie, you randomly press halui button to generate motion), there is no file to send to the interpreter.
If you know what you want to do a priori, then you can get a preview by writing the G-code to do what you want and loading that file :) - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
