General Mach Discussion / Re: Can I change the display to show X and Z axis instead of X and Y?

I have it all programmed I was wondering if the display could be changed to actually show the arc not just an arrow moving up and down for the Z axis.

I'm new to this but am milling an oil groove along the radius of a hemispherical pocket. It would be a HUGE help if i can change the display to show X and Z axis movement instead of X and y. Is there a way to do this? i don't see it in the manual. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm Neil in New York, a manual machinist for 36 years with a TINY bit of CNC. I'm finally getting a "sink or swim" chance to do some coding.

Just one question, do I type in all the code and parameters as is just adding my numbers in? I'm a newbie myself and really need to mill a hemisherical pocket. Thanks in advance!
