CV feedrate = +1

Increase your CV feedrate to the same value as your normal feedrate. Set the CV distance to 1 to 3 if you are in mm and to .05 to .15 if you are in inches.

Those buttons isn't left behind. They have always been there.
Every screen where you want to jog from must have those buttons or the jog wont work.

I have to agree. It has been very interesting to follow this thread. The last threading by Rich seems very good. If this is the result then it should probably be possible to make close to professional or industrial quality threads

Ray, a couple questions, I'm not very familiar with excel, is it possible to make the "white" cells read only? It is easy to accidentally remove the formulas in those cells. Of course, if not saved, you can reopen the document to recover the lost formulas but it would be better if you couldn't erase the cells in the first place.

I like the "drop down" list. How do you make one? I couldn't find this function.
