And You would be correct Andy, I don't know if he did it specifically for us, but we are the shop that Dewey wrote that component for. As for the component itself, it works fairly well, it is more of an incremental jog while program is paused, rather than a straight jog off of what you are machining, takes a little getting used to but after you get the hang of it, it works pretty good. The one major thing in regards to the component is, is that it DOES NOT OBEY MACHINE SOFT LIMITS, so if you are in the process of moving the axis with the component during a feed-hold, you can park your machine on a hard limit over-travel very easily, and this is stated in the component. It is very easy to implement into a config, add the proper section to the Applications section of the INI, then add the relevant sections to each individual axis for the machine, and it is off to the races. If you need any help, let me know.
