Now that change is very easy to understand! I was trying to report this to a person I was incontact with @ HSMWorks, who (I think) released the first LinuxCNC post for HSMWorks, but that was around the time that Autodesk acquired them. They do not seem to be there now. (or their email address has changed)
Swapping .var files seems the easiest way to go, and I will looking what Gene is suggesting. Just curious, can the .var file be specified on a command line when starting LCNC? Thank you all for the help! --J.
