    Multiple Axes Readouts

    Is there a way to display multiple coordinate systems at the same time? For instance "Distance to Go" and "Absolute"?

    Thanks for any hints!

    It would be a nice feature to see added, wouldn't it? You can switch the display modes now by creating an M function for it, but you likely are already doing that.
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    Steve,

    Make a button that the runs the Macro [READOUT TOGGLE]

    It toggles up to 8 axes position readouts between these 4 modes.

    INCREMENTAL MODE
    ABSOLUTE MODE
    DISTANCE TO GO
    RELATIVE TO MACHINE ZERO

    Also use the PgDn keys to rotate between the G code display window and position readouts then press PgUp to blow up the readouts or G code window to full screen with large fonts.
