Axis Modifications

I would like to know which user coordinate system (UCS) is in effect at a glance from the F3 window without having to parse it out of a list of all other G-code states.

Has anyone done this? Thank you.

Originally, I thought I might have a separate 'linuxcnctop' window open, but it too requires the UCS 'G5n' to be fished out of a list of 'g-codes.'

"How hard would it be" :^) to change the color of the Live Plot from red (in my case) to "transparent?"

That way I could still see progress as lines disappeared, but also have a clearer view of the remaining work to be done.

Thank you.

I think that the drawing happens in glcanon.py, so you could try changing colours there.

@cuno
you can use AXIS Alpha Blending in the menue under View

In version 2.7.14, using the Stretch Linux distro, Axis can not jog joint 1 of a non-trivkins machine in Joint mode.
This is due to the value "y" in Tk being converted to the string "True" in Python....

A solution is to put the following in a .axisrc file:
(There is some evidence of a similar problem with "c" and that is even harder to understand. All this code does is give the button data the values that it ought to have been given in the Tcl file.

this also happens in 2.9 master
as i got a XYZAC setup joint_0 - Joint_4 but joint_5 is C while jopint 4 is B internal
it is the same as on AXIS = ((0-X 1-Y 2-Z 3-A 4-B 5-C 6-U 7-V 8-W)
joints Number Axis letter
AXIS = Virtual Count starting 1 Semireal+1
Joints = real joints count so 5 for XYZAC not the 6 UPGREATERS woudt guess
this is a issue New Users wont come up with

and it somtiomes complains B axis following error while B isent in any config at all

then if you use MESA with hardware stepgens you come up with stepgen numbers to ports as well

somtimes i need a real smooth time to overcome this in manuelll setup <- Non pncconf user
