Cannot move Axis
« on: June 03, 2013, 10:36:39 AM »
Hi all.  I need your help.  I do not know what button I pushed, but I have lost the ability to move my axis using the keyboard arrow buttons.  The last time I used the mill, that function worked fine.  Now to move an axis, I have to hit TAB to activate MPG Mode, then hover the mouse over one of the axis. then left mouse click to get any movement.  I really miss being able to use page up and page down, left and right and up and down arrows.  In addition, while in MPG Mode, the Jog Mode is not working - so I cannot enter in a number and have an axis move that amount.  Very strange.  Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like you have the Jog Control switched off.  It is located lower middle of the main page of the Mill screenset.
Not sure what you are meaning regards the MPG.

Hood,

Thank you, thank you, thank you - both for the quick response and the solution to my problem.  Your answer was the trick.  Got my keyboard back, plus the MPG Mode.

Oh I think I see what you are meaning with MPG mode now, think you are meaning Step Jog ?

Yes sir - Step Jog.  In any event, everything works like it did.  Thank you again.
