Ahh, so. Humm brb. By golly it works as advertised. :) Thank you very much! >> >The GEOMETRY statement has nothing to do with how axis handles >> >keystrokes for jogging. >> >> But what does it control?

That works for the sprocket code Andy wrote for me & changing it screws up the shape of the sprocket in the backplot but I wasn't able to understand why. Which bothers me because all those years I was going consumer electronics for a living, the record changers all came to me because I was the only one who could understand the 3d view of how they worked by cycling the mechanism in slow mo. Usually a single cycle was enough to be able to see what the customers ham hands from the top side had bent or even broken. Thanks Jeff. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
