    configure axis with different advances

    My x-axis in each step moves forward 0.01 millimeter but the y-axis in each step moves forward 0.02 millimeters. I would like to configure mach2, so each axis has his own advance:
    x axis: 1 step=0.01 mm
    y axis: 1 step=0.02 mm

    Is this possible? where can i configure it?
    (sorry i`m spanish so my english is not very good)

    Under "Motor Tuning" in the config tab, you would tell Mach2/3 how many steps per 1 mm,,,,, so I imagine it would be 100 steps per mm for X, and 50 steps for Y. Don't forget to hit the button marked save Axis settings after you make a change.
