That's exactly right - typically A is in degrees. EMC2 does coordinated motion with any combination of linear and rotary axes. If you're going to do coordinated motion (using the A for anything but simple indexing) you should read about how to specify feed rate, which gets a little complicated. See page 103 of the user manual, sections "Rotational Axes" and "Feed Rate" specifically. Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
