Do you know if there is any way to install nCAM, in the left side of the axis GUI, close to MDI?

thanks..

I never tried but if you look the 'GladeVCP command line options', maybe the -g could do it

I am pretty sure there are only 3 options for the placement of a Gladevcp with Axis, on the right side, in a tab, or as a separate window. It is not possible to place it to the left.

I think this can be a good place to put nCAM since no other tab is used while design with nCAM.

Do you know if there is any way to make this request to the AXIS designer?

thanks..

Axis is a quite old interface, it is not easily modified, and I don't think it is actively in development (merely maintained). UI development has moved on to the more easily modified Glade based UIs.

If you have your eye on the "blank" real estate on the left side of the Axis screen, much of that space is reserved for optional functions that only appear when those functions are configured, and it is space that just grows and opens up when Axis is used on a large screen (it was designed to work on the much smaller low resolution screens, common more than 10 years ago.)

Ok.
So, basically the way to go is to migrate to Gmoccapy or other GUI?

Hi George,

If you mill setup has A axis configured would you try this demo and tell me if it looks right ? The tool rotates but the path looks strange. Is it normal ?

You could also try with axis_9axis.ini
