Title: Set X diameter
Post by: Gerhard_68 on April 12, 2022, 06:04:04 PM

Hi

I have installed MACH4 turn with original screen.
I could not handle the x and z Dro‘s direct.
Z can be set to zero via Z zero button (G54)
X diameter I can only handle via the Z offset, but this destroy my
tooltable settings
Is there a way to set X direct like in MACH3?

BTW, is there a diameter/radius parameter in MACH4 like in MACH3?

Under the 'Control Configuration menu there is a list box with a choice of radius or diameter.  TYou will have to edit the screen you are using and change the X dro's 'read Only' property to edit in place or something like that.  There is a video showing how to edit the screen if you are not familiar with that.  Unfortunately this is a bug that has beeen reported multiple times over the last 4 years and for some reason NFS can't seem to remember to fix it.
This is not a 'toolbox' question.  You will have better luck getting answers if you post in the general discussion section.
