Thanks a lot, your insight into code really provides some useful info, such as the pivot point of rotation in the back plot is hardcoded to (0,0,0). I'm gonna try adding fake axes V and W in my machine config and set GEOMETRY = VWAXYZ, apply an offset to V and W axes and see what happens. As for

In case it might be handy: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/LinuxCNC/fourth_axis/ My next task was to try to clearly define what the plot should look like. A working example to copy would be nice. On 08/25/2017 12:53 AM, 王若溪 wrote: Hi forks, I'm using LinuxCNC with my 4 axes (A

Hi forks, I'm using LinuxCNC with my 4 axes (A axis rotate along X axis) mill and I want to make back plot in Axis GUI reflect the path of tool reference point (tool tip) relative to the workpiece correctly. i.e. The tool reference point (tool tip) should rotate about the A axis hinge point,
