OK got it , the axis you want to swap to the A axis goes on the g107 line , some how that just didnt translate in the example in the manual, very simple now that I have a grasp.

g92 will solve the problem, was just hoping to do it all in one line

helicoptejohn has a video on hooking up a solenoid for airblast which shows the location of the relays . they have leds on board so you can punch in m8 / m9 in mdi and see which relay controls the...
