Cone scaling is not exposed to the user - it seems to be based on the extents of xyz.

To change it would require code changes in glcanon.py

Here is the cone twice the size - is that what you want?

I need it maybe 1/4 to 1/8 size possibly even smaller. My entire work envelope is about .060 inch.

Hey chris also did you have a chance to review my code for trying to open a camview window in axis. This thread here

in python/rs274/glcanon
look for (I added a comment to highlight it) :
Code:
if current_tool is None or current_tool.diameter == 0: if self.canon: g = self.canon x,y,z = 0,1,2 cone_scale = max(g.max_extents[x] - g.min_extents[x], g.max_extents[y] - g.min_extents[y], g.max_extents[z] - g.min_extents[z], 2 ) * .5 # <- THIS HERE else: cone_scale = 1

Change the *.5 to something smaller

Sorry I looked at the code, couldn't see anything obvious and realized I don't have any system that has linuxcnc installed rather then RIP.
And then forgot. I'll give instructions to do it manually.

It would be nice if that could be configured by the user maybe as an ini file setting (or GUI setting) in V 2.9.
I usually leave my machine set for an overhead view and I find the cone too big.
