Hi Stirling,
I use the rotary axis in a profile type grinder (similar to a lathe or a cylindrical grinder, but the rotary axis is controlled via a servo motor, so I can put relief on items).
Basically it's a hob grinder.
X= Ø (same as a lathe)
Z=left and right (same as a lathe)
A=Rotation (controlled via a servo)
When I use a profile that only uses X and Z the tool path profile looks good.
If I need to use X,Z and also A rotating a controlled amount (e.g 90°) the tool path profile looks good also, if A isn't moving too far.
But if I need to have A axis basically just rotating, I need to put in X_ _ Z_ _ A3600 because it is controlled via a servo motor, I cannot just turn the rotary axis on like a lathe.
So I was hoping in this instance, I could just have the code change the tool path display to not include the rotary axis, rather than turning it on and off manually in the tool path options all the time.
