Yes, it should be C, but the problem is that EMC won't run with B or C, only 'A' (unless I've messee up the 'ini' somehow, but I can't see it :-) > If you want to stop changes in A value moving the tool in the preview > display then all you need to do is edit the INI file GEOMETRY setting. > That probably says XYZA. Change that to just XYZ and the A movements > will not be shown. But then the 'A' word doesn't move the chuck either. I would like just to get the display sensible, leaving the mechanism the same. (OK - I don't care if I have to change the 'A' word to 'C' words, I write new code for each project anyway.) I need the machine right now. When I'm finished, I will make a new partition and install the newest version. Maybe there will be some enlightenment? Thanks for your suggestions anyway.
