I believe older versions of EMC2 needed to have extra axes installed if you wanted a "non-standard" set of axes. I recall needing a dummy Y axis for my old lathe setup. It seemed different versions would let you get away with leaving out different axis features. I don't recall any details because as soon as something worked, I'd go on to the next issue and forget the old ones. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
