Hello, 

i use latest (v2.8.2) version with Gmoccapy, and i dont find the checkbox in settings tab for hiding 4th axis.
I use this for tool changer, and would be good to hide it. 

I found this in changelog:

ver. 2.0.19 
- deleted the settings to hide axis 4 if used as tool changer as that is not longer needed on Joint Axis branch


My question is, how can i hide 4th axis from DRO, and jog buttons from gmoccapy? 
And h ow can i use this feature:ver 3.1.3.8 - changed the hide command to be able to hide any element of the GUI



Thanks,
 Attila.

In your INI file [TRAJ]-section change

COORDINATES = xyza

to

COORDINATES = xyz

also probably the same in the [DISPLAY]- section for the GEOMETRY entry.

Thanks, i modified the INI, and the A axis is hidden in gmoccapy. No DRO, and jog buttons. But now if i want to program the axis (for example: G53 G0 A180), i get: Bad Character 'a' used message, and cant move the axis.
I have remapped M6, and need to move axis from ngc macro running during M6.

If you need to use the A coordinates in gcode then I don't think you can hide the axis in the DRO since gmoccapy seems to check for the settings in the [TRAJ] section which in turn sets up the trajectory planner.

The gmoccapy changelog say:
- deleted the settings to hide axis 4 if used as tool changer as that is not longer needed on Joint Axis branch.

No loger needed on Joint Axis branch. Maybe has a solution for hiding 4th axis if deleted from some reason.

Not sure how that's supposed to work.
Maybe somebody else has a solution?

You are asking the GUI developer to be psychic here. You sort of want the axis sometimes, but not others.

If it's the tool changer then it isn't an axis.

Really, it's not.

There are other ways to do this.

Hiding the 4th axis is not longer needed since the joint axis branch has been merged.
For a tool changer no axis is needed, but a joint.

It si not so easy to add, but may be this thread could help:

extra joints not related to motion controler
