And You would be correct Andy, I don't know if he did it specifically
for us, but we are the shop that Dewey wrote that component for.

As for the component itself, it works fairly well, it is more of an
incremental jog while program is paused, rather than a straight jog off
of what you are machining, takes a little getting used to but after you
get the hang of it, it works pretty good. The one major thing in regards
to the component is, is that it DOES NOT OBEY MACHINE SOFT LIMITS, so if
you are in the process of moving the axis with the component during a
feed-hold, you can park your machine on a hard limit over-travel very
easily, and this is stated in the component.

It is very easy to implement into a config, add the proper section to
the Applications section of the INI, then add the relevant sections to
each individual axis for the machine, and it is off to the races.

If you need any help, let me know.

Rick
