Rotary view

Still at work and its only 10.58

there is no need to reboot the pc every time, after you edit you .ini file just restart linuxcnc.

ok, at home at last, loooooong day.
so in the [DISPLAY] section of my ini file
i have
GEOMETRY = axyz

and i get this on my preview screen

from you ini file that you have posted somewhere else, looks like you are using a different version than mine, 2.8 and i am using 2.7

i would try to change

[KINS]
JOINTS = 4
KINEMATICS = trivkins coordinates=XYZA

[KINS]
JOINTS = 4
KINEMATICS = trivkins coordinates=AXYZ

That's great for you, I would be very happy with that.
Thanks for taking the time to show me it does actually work.
I am still no nearer achieving it, pretty sure I have have changed the necessary but still have the same view.
I installed on another pc and have same again, must be something I am doing wrong.



If I zoom in very close I can see some lines but not enough to make out what I want.



Ah well off to work and have another look later, if anyone can see what's wrong in my .ini file I would be grateful cheers.

It keeps showing my test .ini file from the old setup.
This is the current one I am using.

one more thing, can you give the gcode you are trying so i can try it on my machine?

got my setup working with hints from here: forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/20-g-code/27169...s-on-cylinders#40497

Yes I have seen that too and tried it with no success. Thanks for the input.
I am off to bed now I'll chuck a file up tomorrow after work. Would love you to try it and like to see a screen shot of how you view it.
Cheers.

Solved I don't know how or why it didn't work before but all I have done is to add the line
GEOMETRY = AXYZ
To the display section of the .ini file and I now have the view I was looking for.
I am sure I had done this previously but this time it worked and I am so happy.
Thanks for your help and good luck to you all.
