But it seems to me that a steering switch to redirect the axis's to the backplot, in the .ini might be something doable.
Or do I not fully understand the backplot view problem, Andy? Something in the same block of code that looks for the keyword LATHE in the .ini file, could it look for "HORIZ_BORE = yes" too, but preserve what I assume is the articulation laterally and vertically this big machine probably has? Even better for those of us with rotateable heads on our mills, a python button to switch from the std mill view to a horizontal bore view would be a nice addition. Moving the envelope markings might be just as complex. Those are set in the .ini also from the MIN_LIMIT and MAX_LIMIT per axis/joint settings now. > > What are you trying to do? -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
