In that case, for the information of all the new users or anyone else, who has not discovered it yet or read it in manual. The way to access LinuxCNC sample configs: Open "Applications" menu in the upper left corner of Ubuntu desktop screen. There is CNC subcategory, select it. There are: 1) all the manuals, quick g-code reference and other materials that can provide useful information; 2) Stepconf wizard and Pncconf - 2 tools that can be used to create machine setup; 3) and finally, there is LinuxCNC - button to open this application - select it to access window, where You can select either Your existing configurations or any of the sample configs that are available. There is a small check-box on the bottom to add desktop shortcut for LinuxCNC to open a particular machine configuration. Please, anyone, who has not yet done that, take a look at the list of sample configs provided! They are there either as a reference, but more importantly, as a starting point for any kind of machine configuration by customizing them. This is the exact way I have been doing on the machines I am building (often I do not even change the names of the files, only the name of directory). Selecting any sample config means that it is copied to the "configs" directory, so user is free to change and modify it, it will not affect the "original source" of particular sample config. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
