Greetings,

I was using my 4-axis mill to "reverse engineer" a part.

X,Y, and Z all have JOG values in actual inches, and the axes all move the indicated amount.

A axis does jog + and - ; but, the values are still shown in inches on the JOG menu?

My LinuxCNC is version 2.5.4 and I am using the AXIS interface.

Is this normal? Or, is there a place I can correct the concern?

With kind regards,

David

The increments are set by the iNI
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/config/ini-co...tml#_display_section
in the INCREMENTS section.

It does not seem to offer the option to jog in degrees. The code in axis does only seem to understand the units mentioned in the docs:
github.com/jepler/linuxcnc-mirror/blob/c...cripts/axis.py#L1277


Does the display actually state the units? My recollection is hazy, but I thought that "0.1" meant 0.1mm or 0.1 degrees.

You can have the increments without the text "in" and I think it uses the machine units.

Greetings,

Many thanks to Big John. I edited out the "in" characters in my INI file and A-axis moves in units appropriate. The JOG drop down box now shows the numerical values with no "in" appended.

Cheers,

David
