Dave,

    I will look into the plugin....  But, the issue may be deeper than that...
The Shift Jog axis OEM codes, (IF... memory serves and it may not), work only IF
you have a real MPG hooked to the PP interface......

I will look and see if I can write and override that..... but just remember if your running,
PP or other motion plugin, an external REAL MPG may override that function...

Terry,

     Send me the VB Macro file you did, for cycling the job axis, so I don't have to re-invent that wheel.

Dave,

Here is a link to the BETA!!!!  SP2 v. 2.7 with the cycle jog axis, it is under finished plugins....

PLEASE read that post, and let me know your findings in THAT thread since it will be plugin related.

Dave, As a shot in the dark could you try this macro from inside the shuttle . Apply it to a button.

Gave it a shot, my friend, and nothing happens at all, not even any messages in the status bar about the axis being selected.

Also tried it with a VB button on a screen just for the heck of it, and nothing as well.

DAVE I had hoped that Art had left some hooks into the real world of Mach3 when he created the plugin BUT he did not(;-).

I can see where Scott might  modify the source code but that will be up to him on how he approaches it.

Just to update, Scott is done with this as he would need a Shuttle Pro 2 to work on it.

Thanks again for the effort all,
Dave
