I thought I read this in the manual and was thinking that is was only in the HOMING that it did not move all axis at the same time for safety reasons.
It better move all 4 while a Gcode file is executing!
I'm going to talk to a rep before I get real serious.
Ger21, I have told Art about the 4th axis problem. He said that Mach 2 is having trouble reading all the very small point-to-point moves in my Gcode file while operating under CV. He said to turn off CV! This is not acceptable! With CV off the machine moves in very jerky start/stop steps.
Art seems to be too busy working on Mach 3 to listen to the problems Mach 2 is having. I guess most people are not creating complex Gcode like I am.
Art is advertising Mach 2 as a professional level controller, but if it will not work with professional level (MasterCam) gcode. Then I'm looking somewhere else!
I did not have any problems with Mach 2 while using it for just 3 axis. But now that I added my 4th, it's now falling on it's face.
