I don’t know about fusion but you can simply make the c axis an axis. We don’t know or care what your doing with the motors. The issue is we do not have the tools to make a Cartesian coordinate system from the c and x axis. We know how to do it we just have not done it because not enough people need it.

Linux, we use that on the severs here. I use putty and ssh in so I get that sweet terminal window with a little midnight commander action! All joking aside with CentOS going away (stable versions) I don’t know how great Linux will be. I guess I am going to move to Rocky Linux when that is done for enterprise level software. IBM owns redhat now and CentOS ! I get you can use other distorts but we need the mirrored cluster with VMs and that’s a bit special.. moral of the story is the grass may look greener but you end up in the same boat  . Sorry for the long story but it is something we are dealing with for the code servers.

Enjoy and make some fun projects! That is what I am all about! Computers are a pain

Would it help if I had an Italian  translation? We have the tools to do a localization. We try to make the money to pay the bills off industry and give a great deal to the people at home.  We like to say if you are making money pay us for each copy, if your at home having fun have fun it is a license for the home shop. (That is why they are not transferable) .

What should it cost ? if your a hobby person you can have 10 copies at home. Seems like a good deal... But I really would like to know what you think the correct price point is.

Thank you for your work!

You simply change the start to the end position Easy! Notice the start and the end in his example are not the same

Well I never closed the wizard ! That was the trick!

I got some of the cake on this end ... just enough to screw up the keys LOL.

Let me dig and see if I can make that go away! (this shifting that is)
