Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Rotary axis configuration question.

If you want the table to move to A=1 degree when you issue the command G01
A1 then you need to configure it for steps per degree. Apparently you have
it configured for steps per revolution and it thinks it is only moving 1
degree when it is really moving 360 degrees.
