Rotary view

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.

Looks like I got here too late. But GEOMETRY is the place you need to make the changes.

You might find this interesting, G-code to engrave numerals directly:

Cheers Andy, yes I had seen that and it still wasn't registering in my tiny mind that geometry and coordinates are different.
I have been to my other confusers and still typed in Coordinates instead of Geometry and wondered why it don't work. Is it an age thing or just stupid? My ol dad used to say "when you're dead, you're dead, the people affected are those around you. Same when you're a bloody idiot."

So to WRAP up this subject (pun intended even though it's poor).

The only change you need to make is to add this line in the display section of your .ini file.

GEOMETRY = AXYZ

Don't mess with anything else.
Don't confuse the issue like I did.
Don't think it's hard or complicated or you need to learn coding.
Don't be a plonker like me, simply copy that line and paste it at the bottom of the "DISPLAY" section in your .ini file.
I hope this helps someone who may has the same problem, thanks for your help and patience with a stupid old git, I finally have the message deeply embedded and bookmarked this thread in case I forget.

Had the same problem after setting up my new 4th axis, thank for a nice easy solution.
