Thank you very much Andy and Javier! I recently run into GEOMETRY settings digging the forum or Emc-users. Changed exactly to XYZA-BC, it works fine. First for some reasons I had an opinion that AXIS won't go for parallel machines. Now I see that it does (except wrong axes limits). So, I switched

Andrew, I experienced this problem too. In my hexaglide hexapod, for which I developed the kinematics starting from genhexkins.c It worked using at *.ini file in section [DISPLAY] the entry GEOMETRY = XYZA-BC The minus reverses the rotation sense of B axis. Good luck, Javier On Wed, May 11

Hello, As you may remember I run hexapod with EMC2. I used to use tkemc UI, but recently tried switching to AXIS. 1. AXIS manual mode is joint-only, I can not switch to world coordinates and touch off by manual jogging. I have to touch off in MDI window: G0 step-by-step and then G92. Is there any
