Activate B-axis in Porbe Basic was created by Doc_emmet
Hello, I have a machine with X, Y, Z, B, C. How do I change Probe Basic from A-axis to B-axis?

[DISPLAY]
GEOMETRY = xyzab
...

[KINS]
JOINTS = 5
KINEMATICS = trivkins coordinates=XYZAC
...

[TRAJ]
COORDINATES = XYZAC
...

If I change three "A"s to three "B," only the X, Y, and Z axes are displayed in Probe Basic. I also adjusted the range [AXIS_X] to [AXIS_C].
Can someone help me?

Looking at the 'probe_basic.ui' file makes me think that XYZBC configurations are not supported:
                            <string>[{&quot;name&quot;: &quot;axis_display_rule&quot;, &quot;property&quot;: &quot;currentIndex&quot;, &quot;expression&quot;: &quot;0 if ch[0] == 'XYZ' else (1 if ch[0] == 'XYZA' else (2 if ch[0] == 'XYZAB' else (3 if ch[0] == 'XYZAC' else -1)))&quot;, &quot;channels&quot;: [{&quot;url&quot;: &quot;status:axis_mask?string&quot;, &quot;trigger&quot;: true}]}]</string>

Thanks for the answer. Is there no way to operate my machine like this?
One option would be to swap the X and Y axes, but is there another option?

The best option would be to add 'XYZBC' mode to 'probe_basic.ui'. If that is not something you can do then you'll have to convert to 'XYZAC' as you mentioned or hope that @Lcvette has a look at this issue.

I think that the dro control box section will likely soon become a user tab module that can be setup per the users requirement and kept in the config folder. seems too many configurations to keep up with otherwise and really taxes the ui build having to keep so many dro's running and active.

I will take a look and see what would be required for that.
