Not on this machine here in the house, it has no hardware to run. > And if just testing ideas in the sims, why re-home? (Do you habitually > re-home your real machines). The machine in question, yes, has no home switches since I used the last i/o on the parport for a shared limit switch to keep from unscrewing the screw out of the nut. and I usually put home at the left front of the material on the table, and run + for both axis's from there. But the overide limits checkbox ate my lunch when I hit the wrong keyboard key, while watching the dro because I need about .25" away from that switch to run this program. I'd just say to hell with it and buy a bare gantry & move all the motors, but most gantry's don't have enough z-up to change tools. I am sure tired of fighting with the short x screw in this one though. > In any case, you can jog the axes off of the home switches and then > re-home, if you really need to. But that doesn't home it where I need it, it homes it to wherever I jogged it to. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
