Look IN Genconfig /toolpath and see IF you have it set for X/A.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Can mach3 correct Z height along X and Y moves ?

Mach3 CAN do mods to the axis's through the   "Formulas"  function. If you are trying to correct a BAD ALIGNED table you will be MUCH better off to just FIX the machine as any thing else is just a crutch and will bite you before it is all over.

OK IT ran the test file. BUT it took 8min 30secs to load the image and the SIM ran extremely SLOW. At that speed it would have taken about 30 minutes to run the sim.

HIYA ART I can RUN the Gsim on a demo install of Mach4 and it works for most things. IN an install on Mach4 Industrial it will NOT run even  the simple things. SAME PC for both tests.

I am still working on that one. I also have the latest video driver install that accounts for directX and opengl.   Tested with FURMARK video standards  and it rates "Fair"

General Mach Discussion / Re: suggestions needed for setting up tailstock stepper on lathe

Unless I missed something you can use all 6 axis in TURN. You just have to setup the screen. (I just tried it here and it simulates just fine).

Set up C as linear and call it when needed.  You can even setup 2 buttons to extend and retract the Centerpoint or  use Gcode to do center drilling.
