Well, the problem is buried deep inside emc/emc2.
There is an assumption that the first 3 are linear, the next 3 are angular.
This should get fixed properly, but until then you can use the following trick:
(the linear unit is 1.0 for mm, so is the angular unit for deg). Therefor
settings for the angular axes (even if the ini says they are rotary) will be
just the same as the linear ones. The speeds should be the same, even if AXIS
displays deg instead of mm.

Alex
PS: I bet you'll run into quite a few other inconsistencies, please report them
here (or file a bug report at sourceforge.net/projects/emc )

Subject: [Emc-users] AXIS GUI and jog speed
Hello!
As you know, we are developing a six linear axis parallel manipulator. The
kinematic is done and it works OK. We are using AXIS GUI and we have a problem.
When we are using "Manual Control" there are two possibilities, "joint mode"
or "world mode" to move the machine. The interface shows the six axis or six
coordinates and two "jog speeds", one in "mm/min" and the other in "deg/min".
That's good for "World mode", to move X Y Z uses "mm/min", and to move R P W
uses "deg/min".
The problem arises when we want to move just joins, if we move joins 0,1,2
they move with the velocity shown in "mm/min", and if we move joins 3,4,5 they
move with the velocity shown in "deg/min". We want to move all of them with the
"mm/min" velocity. In the .ini file the are well defined as "linear joins", so
where is the problem?
Thanks in advance
