I think I've joined before but lost my notes on p.w. and name, but now that I've finally built my HF mini-mill ( Hoss) conversion and my demo of Mach3 is running great, I need to research a bit and figure out if I can control my 4th axis "A" to be controlled by degrees using steps / settings.... is that possible ?? 
   I set my steps / to  200 just for testing purposes, works great,  --->  g0 A 1.0  rotates the axis 1 rev nicely, rather aggressively but not bad....  but isnt  "A" supposed to be degrees,  I've noticed in the config / gen. config  area, over to the left near the top it has the following:

Angular properties
    Unchecked for Linear
A-Axis is angular
B-Axis is angular
etc  etc   

so.....exactly what does this info imply ..?  thanks for any input....
