Title: Setting a Jog Scale
Post by: professorburnout on November 04, 2010, 08:39:08 AM

I am building a pendant using the PoKeys pendant as a guide. I seem to be running into the same problem that the has been posted in the past but the post ended without a answer to the poster's last question.

The jog scale changes when I am looking at the MPG flyout in Mach 3 when I change the switch but the MPG wheel still moves the axis the same amount per revolution of the MPG wheel. I am looking for a solution that the scale of movement will change for the MPG wheel when I change the scale switch.

Is this possible? Or is the scale switch just used for jogging in increments?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi!

As Scott (maker of the plugin) that is an user error and is in the flash help.
You have to set the mode to step jog, that is the way mach3 works.

Thanks Boris,

When Mach3 is in step mode the multiplier switch will chance the amount the axis moves per revolution of the MPG wheel. I think I am getting confused because of my previous experience with other CNC controllers.
Thanks,
Paul
