Is there any way for the DRO's on Axis to have more than 4 decimal places?

Yes, but as far as I know you need to change the source code.

You can change Axis with the .axisrc file.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/axis.html#_axisrc
I don't see off hand what to change...

Yes. You need to make a simple change to axis.py then restart LinuxCNC. (It would be nice if this was an INI option).
It is section around line 1731 in the current axis version:
You need to change the %.4f to %.5f (or whatever)

1735 else:

1738 fmt = "%.4f"You need to change the %.4f to %.5f (or whatever)

Andy, thanks. I did a search for axis.py and it came up with 5 "fix_default_axis.py" files, all of them 7kb. So, where do I find it.

try /usr/bin/
It might be called axis.g
"which axis" might work. (I am nowhere near a LinuxCNC machine)

In Ubuntu 10.04 is it /usr/bin/axis to edit it you will need to use sudo gedit /usr/bin/axis in a terminal window. It would be a good thing to make a copy of axis before modifying it.
I did test changing the fmt line and it did not work.

I've also changed the fmt line to 5 to 6 to 3 and nothing works. Also the default for metric is 3 but the display is always 4 and apparently the accuracy also.
