I saw the keyboard map on masso's website. But i was unable to find jog buttons for the A and The B axes. It's really hectic to set up work offsets with the mouse for A and B axes. If there are any key shortcuts for jogging these two axes please let me know. If not, can you guys add it to a new software update?
Rapid jog for A and B axis

Hi Sourabh
The only way to remotely jog the A & B axis is use a pendant or using external inputs. As you noted there is no keyboard option at this time.
The problem is that there doesn't appear to be an industry standard set of jog keys used for this like there is for the X,Y & Z axis and simply picking 4 keys at random would cause problems further down the line as new features are added.
If you or anyone knows of a set of standard keyboard keys used for jogging the A & B axis can you please let us know.
Would greatly appreciate any input on this.
Cheers Peter

- One thought was to use < & > (shift key not needed) for one axis and [ & ] for the other. Using the Shift key for rapid jogging as usual. These being keys not likely to be wanted for anything in the future.
- Another thought was to select the required axis by pressing the A ,B, X, Y, Z keys and then use the + & - keys to do the jogging. or SHIFT + & - for rapid jogging. It should be noted that the current method of jogging would be retained for the X, Y & Z axis as well.
Would greatly appreciate any input on this.
