Axis view options are not persistant between sessions. Any thoughts? was created by chrisfischer
Hello,

I am trying to find the answer to the question why do my axis view preferences not stay persistant between sessions.
Actually some options are persistant like show offsets or alpha blend program.
But some important ones are not like display inches (always opens to mm) and show pyvcp panel.
I have searched the forum and chatted with chatgpt for a few hours now and frustratedly cannot get my machine
to turn on with inches displayed. I have tried to make .axisrc file but that never seemed to do anything.
Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I presume you are talking about settings in the ini file. Neither unit settings nor pyvcp panel setup should require an .axisrc file.
When you say the display always opens to mm do you mean the number of decimal places?

hes talking about some of the options in view menu are persistent across reboots and save settings with .axis_preference , but some options , like " Hide PYVCP" are not persistent, and pyvcp needs to be hidden every boot.

The inches/mm one should be something in ini file thought. there are default configs that load with inches, and some mm.

I see.
Looking at line 2968 makes me think that 'hide pyvcp' was simply not intended to be persistent by the original author:

Talking about having to drop this menu down and change every time. I thought i changed everything in the ini related to units (attached).

UNITS = INCH # issue a G20 at load
DEFAULT_UNITS = INCH # same as G20

I'm not aware of  a 'UNITS' or 'DEFAULT_UNITS' key:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/config/ini-config.html

same for 'GEOMETRY_UNITS'

[edit]
But I guess those lines come from this:

When I open the axis sim the units are inch, when I open the axis_mm sim the units are mm.

In the [TRAJ] section of axis the LINEAR_UNITS are inch and in the axis_mm the LINEAR_UNITS are mm.

yeah that should be the only option he needs in the INI file, the one in [TRAJ] LINEAR UNITS

the ai shit up your ini file. you need to fix these sections. I dont know what angular inch U axis is or a linear spindle.
Code:
#****************************************** #*** AXIS_U ******************************* [AXIS_U] UNITS = INCH MAX_VELOCITY = 7 MAX_ACCELERATION = 20 MIN_LIMIT = -500 MAX_LIMIT = 500.0 [JOINT_3] TYPE = ANGULAR UNITS = INCH HOME = 0.0 MIN_LIMIT = -500 MAX_LIMIT = 500.0 MAX_VELOCITY = 7 MAX_ACCELERATION = 20 FERROR = 1000 MIN_FERROR = 1000 HOME_ABSOLUTE_ENCODER = 1 #****************************************** #*** SPINDLE ******************************* [AXIS_B] MAX_VELOCITY = 25.0 MAX_ACCELERATION = 750.0 MIN_LIMIT = -200.0 MAX_LIMIT = 200.0 [JOINT_4] TYPE = LINEAR HOME = 0.0 MIN_LIMIT = -200.0 MAX_LIMIT = 200.0 MAX_VELOCITY = 25.0 MAX_ACCELERATION = 750.0 FERROR = 1000 MIN_FERROR = 1000 HOME_ABSOLUTE_ENCODER = 1
