The sign DOES tell the machine which way to move. +ve goes CW, -ve goes CCW. It's NO different to a linear axis - do you have problems knowing which way that is moving? Of course not - so why should a rotary axis be any different ;) Steve Blackmore -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
