hey guys it is a funny one I tested the new probe basic QTPYVCP gui and can see the machine extents box in that. on this same control with all the same settings. I am only opening the sim at the moment though. I haven't gotten my configuration to work yet on probe basic gui.
eventually I will be using the new gui properly anyway and won't use axis though I am finally starting to like axis lol. even if it looks old it definitely works pretty good. just so everyone knows this is what I am talking about see the google drive link https://photos.app.goo.gl/jtYwmBwEbn2uPDHq5 sorry anyone that doesn't use google.
