Re: Pre Release version of new GUI.

Hi Ray,

I think you can forget the bit about G0 not working - it has started doing
so. I am wondering, however, if it is failing to throw up an error. I had
modified the .ini file to work in metric but had omitted to do a G21 as the
first thing in the MDI. So, when I asked it to do a G0x10, it would have
been outside the limits which are set at 150mm, however, rather than give me
an 'out of range' error message, it just sat there looking stupid with me
doing the same. Entering G21 made it work OK.
If anyone wants the 4-axis metric .ini file for this new GUI, please let me
know.

Ian
