But... I have a pair of 100 ppr dials mounted on the apron that if a button is pushed to enable them, one for x and one for z, each with a dial selectable jog per click scale on a 1,2,5 sequence so I can jog from .02mm to 20mm per click. Changed from the dial by holding down the enable button while turning the dial. And jogs from that src do NOT update the radio buttons to indicate which axis is being jogged. This has led to some very frustrating mistakes and blue air as I still don't really have myself trained to pick up the mouse and update the active axis display BEFORE I do a touch off, destroying the touch off I just did to a different axis. We need a way for hal to talk back to axis and do whatever it takes to update those buttons, 100% automatically. This is partially my own fault as I haven't actually asked the question before. Now I am. Is it fixable? And if so, how? Thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
