If I understand your question correctly, with AXIS running, you can click on File (top left of AXIS window), then Open. This should open another window showing the files in /home/my-home/emc2/nc_files. By default there should be a directory named examples listed. Your SheetCam g-code files should go into this nc_files directory so that when you do the above Files/Open your files will be listed. You can create subdirectories like the examples directory, to segregate your files if needed. Just click on the file you want to run or subdirectory to open and click the Open button. After AXIS loads your file, you should be able to see its contents in the widow at the bottom of AXIS. You should then Home your axes before you touch off and run your program. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
