g41 question again--forget it
Gentlemen, G41 is working. I had different expectations in what the screen would display. I thought the screen would display the un-offset path and the offset tool path like I have seen elsewhere.

c axis position not displayed
I have set up my machine for x, y z, and c axis. The main screen displays xyz and a. Shouldn't it have changed to xyz and c? I indicated in the logic that C is angular. Shouldn't the c position

Re: Mach2 Missed steps but not????
