Is it possible to change the Axis display so the cutter arrow shows on the top of the Z axis instead of below on the toolpath display?? I asked on the IRC channel and CRadek said he didn't see the setting. It would be a lot more obvious to the operator if the cutter arrow was on the top

Hi Chris - You are exactly right. The jog keys also feel backwards. Thanks, Dave Chris Radek wrote: On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 11:41:25AM -0400, Dave wrote: Is it possible to change the Axis display so the cutter arrow shows on the top of the Z axis instead of below on the toolpath

Hi all. I bought a super cheap Logitech gamepad and it works like a charm. But I have some small problems due to lack of knowledge how to config the hal file. I also have a very bad Internet connection at the moment so I can't really search around to find a solution, so I hope you guys can give

First problem: My gamepad only have one simple joystick, I can only jog two axis as the wiki examples. I would like to use two buttons to jog Z instead. These two buttons are true/false signals. Can I config it some way like this? When pressing input.0.btn-top2, jog Z down. When
