"Are you switching to "World" mode?" I didn't even know this existed... I've read through the documentation a few times I must have missed this part... This would be AWESOME if it fixes this.. I know that when Axis did load up the Axis's were numbered 0,1,2,4 instead of X,Y,Z,A . I will give this a try.
I needed to walk away for the night and take the wife out and get a fresh look at it.. Thanks Andy for the help..
