Andy how do you get teh X/A toolpath to display that way. PP has an X/A but it does not have teh X/A toolpath that centers on X. The display is always off center and off scale to the X centerline.

I am assuming they did not setup a 4th axis toolpath display.

I had to fiddle it a bit to get the display that good for the demo photo.

1) You need to set GEOMETRY = AXYZ in the [DISPLAY] section of the INI.
2) You need to be touched-off such that Z = 0 is on the axis of rotation.
Which might not be convenient for actual milling.

Hi Andy I still have not been able to get a 4th toolpath displayed. Does your setup use joints or kenimatics ?? PP has NONE of those.

PP loads
loadrt trivkins
thats kinematics
where do you think it doesn't have it?

PP so far has NOT been able to do a proper 4th axis toolpath here. I was looking in teh INI file for teh Kenimatics. It does NOT display a 4th toolpath and yes I did turn on 4th axis toolpathing in PP.

NOW it will show a motion in 4th when you run teh program but it is always way off center of X and way out of scale with teh rest of teh toolpathing(XYZ).

I have played with all teh setting in teh INI to no avail. I see where some of LinuxCNC users have a 4th toolpath and others that do NOT have a 4th toolpath but want it. Lots of questions asked about it but very little info on how to do it.

is it performing the toolpaths correctly but not displaying it correctly?
I would expect it to perform correctly as it's linuxCNC.
it may not display correctly because PP is a gui and it only shows what tormach designed it to show.and what they choose to support in thier gui
