Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] New on EMC: How to set the steps per unit for each axis? for metric

Frank,

First, what is in the "Linear Units" variable in the Trajectory Planner
section?
if it is something like .03937XXXX then it is set up for inches, and you
need to change that to "1". As far as the locking up, what version of
the BDI are you using?
