General Mach Discussion / Help on Mach screen modification.

« on: January 02, 2023, 03:29:21 PM »

Hello to all,
trying to see if this is possible to do in the MACH screen.
I have 2 slide rails that have  (X axis) and (Z axis,).
what  I 'am  trying to achieve.   On the MACH screen instead of having the normal  X,Y, Z,and A AXIS on the control display,
I can make it were it has X,Z AND X,Z that way I can program 2  slide rails  with 2 motors  using Mach 3.
hopefully this made some kind of sense, this is just something I am trying to see if I can program 2 slide rails with one controller.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
