HI Gene. AXIS never had pins to control selection of axes - only status outputs. There is a good reason. If you use an external switch to control the selection, then you must disallow GUI selection, because the external and GUI selection can get out of synch. AXIS currently has no option to disallow GUI axis selection and i wouldn't think that would be a good option without some visual changes. You could probably add code to AXIS with axisrc option but that would require someone to help you figure out how.
If you are adventurous and are using 2.8 or master you could try qtaxis. Qtaxis is an AXIS look alike (mostly) and covers most of AXIS's features. It is also (with some work) fully customizable. It not super tested though - or at least i haven't heard feedback from anyone. One nice feature of qtaxis is you can undo an offset touch off with a single button press. But its new code and would require working through problems. (I'd suggest cloning your config) Might not be worth the trouble for you.

That is the ability to link a users configuration back into the gui's such as axis so there is not now a way to link something like a encoder dial back to the axis gui, in such a way as to control the active, last moved axis buttons just as the keyboard now does. _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
