I need a function [macro] that will temporarily slave my A axis[spindle#2] to my Z axis[spindle1]
Art suggested I slave C to Z in cfg,then write a Macro to swap C&A , and then a macro[another one?] to cancel the swap.
I searched all over for an oem code for "swapaxis" but it must not exist.
I could sweat blood for days trying to learn VB and writing macros to do what one of you guys could whip out in a matter of minutes
OR
I can go make parts[what I know] and PAY $$ someone who knows this stuff.
best to contact me at carlcnc@yahoo.com
thanks

Like Art said, set up your config to slave Z and C then:
The drop a "Button" on your screed that says "Swap A and C" for the label
In the button put the VB script: swapaxis( 3,5)
Drop another button on your screen with "reset A and C" for the label
In the button put: ResetSwappedAxis()
If you don't want to fool with it, send me your screen set, and mark the area you want the buttons and I will do it for you.
