Hi,
NCPlot doesn't currently support multiple axis in the same plane. Is this for a boring mill application? I've seen boring mills with the quill or spindle as the Z axis and the saddle in/out as the W axis. Is this the same thing?

Could you email a sample program that uses the W axis?
I'll add this feature to the wish list.
Thanks,
Scott
