ini questions

I have a couple of questions. I want to set up EMC to control a lathe type
machine. I control servo motors using step/direction output. One of the
motors is to run the rotating axis one runs a sliding table. How do you set
the soft limit for the rotating axis so there is none? I want to be able to
rotate without worrying about hitting a limit..

The other question also has to do with the ini file. I want to know what to
set so the sliding table moves the distance I want and the display also
reflects the distance. From reading the manual, it seems the input_scale is
the variable to adjust. When I adjust this it does not always make sense. I
tried calculating the number as it is shown and it causes tkemc to be a bit
jumpy as the mouse moves around, and the distance of the move is not
correct. If I set it at "1,000   0" everything moves smoothly but when I am
in mdi mode and tell it to move 1 inch, the reading says 1.000 but the
actual move is about 1/10". If I set input_scale to "10,000  0" and tell it
to move 1 inch, the readout is 1.000 and the actual move is about 2.5/10".
I get that jumpy mouse move as well. It also seems to change the speed at
which the motor turns. What is happening, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
