Greetings; I got the font problem fixed by installing another 20 megabytes of fonts on this F8 box, and I do note one thing: When starting emc on its own screen, I do get a realtime error, just one that never repeats.
Running it on this screen via an ssh -Y linkage, they don't occur, ever. Maybe this says something for the 'lights out' situation, where two computers might be better than one? Anyway, thats just an observation, take it FWIW. $0.02 maybe? :) The real question is that the A axis, when its moved, seems to rotate the bit image anchored around its current z point on the X axis. There will be times when I might have it laying somewhere near flat on the x table so that its axis of rotation might be aligned or nearly so with the Z axis, and the reason I say nearly so would be that I could have a shim under one edge to tilt it slightly to get the right edge angles if I am sharpening a carbide bit with a diamond coated wheel. I also have visions of hobbing spur gears with a teeny bit, by rotating the table, whose axis is straight up, to the number of degrees to get to the next tooth, in a step and repeat fashion, and it would be very very nice if the image of the gear itself actually rotated in the display as the program progressed. You might want to put that in the Wish List. :) How do I go about changing the apparent rotation axis of the A axis as displayed, to some other, possibly arbitrary and not aligned with any of the first 3 axis's, angle? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
