Which stepper is driven by which G-code Axis name is something that it easily configured in the HAL config. For example the Z-axis motor on my lathe becomes the X-axis motor when I put the (dual-purpose) machine into milling machine mode. It _sounds_ like you are talking about a limitation in the CAM software, though, so it is possible that the A/X confusion is all invisible after the CAM stage. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
