Rotary view

Tried that and got it working by physically moving the A axis to the top and renumbering the joints but still have same view.
Thought I had achieved great things when the gui fired up but sadly not so great.

i have it working at home.. will check my config later when i am back home...

Are you home yet?
Seriously, thanks I am bashing my head against the wall with this.
I have even edited the sim_hardware.hal to try and get results with no success.
I have AXYZ everywhere I look in the config files but notice in the gui it still has XYZA.
I have rebooted the pc several times as I thought that may help but no.
Would that change or is it me expecting it to?

Just updated to version 2.7.7 I assume it's tomorrow somewhere in the world. Nothing changed for me so back to the drawing board.

Still at work and its only 10.58 :S

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
