Hello

As some of you know, I'm not especially good at Linux and I'm having a hard time to make axis understand that my tools is on the backside.
Yes I've read the wiki on it, but I don't know where to put the ".axisrc" file?!

To display a rear tool lathe in Axis, create an .axisrc file in your home directory and place the following code.


I've named the file "Backtool.axisrc"

Well.. that's not how you do it..

I found this:

To edit your ~/.axisrc file, open a terminal window (Applications > Accessories >
Terminal). Then type "gedit .axisrc".

thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributio...er/12638/focus=12642

And since Gedit has been replaced with "Mousepad" (?) I used "mousepad .axisrc" and pasted the code, saved and exited.

And guess what, it still doesn't work.. :angry:

Yay, finally got it working :) Not the easiest for a non-Linux user to understand I must say.

You might want to post what you did do to get it working to help others.

Sure!

1. Open a terminal (Applications > Accessories >Terminal) not "open terminal here"
2. Write "mousepad .axisrc"
3. Paste this code:
Code:
if lathe: bind_axis("Down", "Up", 0) def set_view_y(event=None): widgets.view_z.configure(relief="link") widgets.view_z2.configure(relief="link") widgets.view_x.configure(relief="link") widgets.view_y.configure(relief="sunken") widgets.view_p.configure(relief="link") vars.view_type.set(4) o.reset() glRotatef(90, 1, 0, 0) glRotatef(90, 0, 1, 0) if o.canon: mid = [(a+b)/2 for a, b in zip(o.canon.max_extents, o.canon.min_extents)] glTranslatef(-mid[0], -mid[1], -mid[2]) size = [(a-b) for a, b in zip(o.canon.max_extents, o.canon.min_extents)] o.set_eyepoint_from_extents(size[0], size[2]) else: o.set_eyepoint(5.) o.perspective = False o.lat = -90 o.lon = 0 o.tkRedraw() TclCommands.set_view_y = commands.set_view_y = set_view_y root_window.bind("v", commands.set_view_y) root_window.after_idle(commands.set_view_y)

4. Save (ctrl+s)
5. Exit both applications
6. Done!
