      OK, I think I've got it. Try this:

      M584 X0 Y1:2 U5 Z6:7:8:9 E3:4 ; Mapping drivers
      
      M563 P0 D0 H1           F1    S"X" ; define tool X
      M563 P1 D1 H2     X3    F4    S"U" ; define tool U
      M563 P2 D0:1 H1:2 X0:3  F1:4  S"XU" ; define tool X+U copy mode
      M563 P3 D0:1 H1:2 X0:3  F1:4  S"XU" ; define tool X+U mirror mode
      

      The "3" seems to be the logical number of the axis to be mapped. That is X=0,Y=1, Z=2,U=3, etc. And the lines that map the copy or mirro do seem to need both the 'base' axis and the 'extra' axis.

      Let me know if this works.

        I'm running an IDEX machine (albeit on RRF2) but this should do the trick.

        X3 instead of X5 is correct - X (0), Y (1), Z (2), U(3)

        I have not tried mirror mode. The documentation refers to M579 (Scale Cartesian axes), however where would the best place for that be? In the start GCODE of a print file? "M579 U-1" is needed to "scale" the U axis in the negative direction.

          It's a good recap. Only the moves aren't not needed because the offsets can be defined by G10 Pxxx in config.g.
          I'm waiting your come back.
          Thanks again.

            It works ! Thanks a lot. It's strange I need to map the driver 5 with the number 3 but the essential is that it works.
            For mirror, I've put the M579 U-1 in tpost3.g and M579 U1 in tfree3.g for return to normal direction when T3 is unloaded.
            Thanks again.

              @Danal it is no longer worth to search the solution, @sebkritikel found it. Thank you

                Nice, glad to help! Good idea on M579 in tpost3.g and tfree3.g!

                To understand why it is X3 instead of X5, reread M584 https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M584_Set_drive_mapping
                3 or 5 does not mean driver, it means axis. The axis value is from XYZUVWABC, with X starting at '0'

                  @sebkritikel @noisettetbou @Danal Thanks for your work on this thread! I really didn't have much of a clue where to start with IDEX. If you have any comments to update the IDEX page in the wiki here , or specifically this section , can you let me know and I'll update it?

                  Actually, looking at the IDEX wiki page, most of the info seems to be there?! Perhaps just a bit about the X parameter mapping using the order XYZUVWABC, where X=0, Y=1, Z=2, U=3 etc?

                    I would agree that most of the info is there, but adding additional clarification on the X parameter mapping would be great, as well as a small section on M579 for mirror printing in the area discussing tool generation. Thanks!

                      @sebkritikel I've added a bit to the X and Y parameter description in https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode?revisionid=HEAD#Section_M563_Define_or_remove_a_tool

                      I've added a similar note here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringMultipleIndependentXcarriagesCartesian?revisionid=HEAD#Section_Creating_a_tool_that_uses_more_than_one_carriage_to_print_multiple_copies_of_an_object

                      And described how to set up the mirror tool, and M579, here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringMultipleIndependentXcarriagesCartesian?revisionid=HEAD#Section_Sample_IDEX_tool_configuration

                        @sebkritikel OK. It's good to know the M594 means axis because I've got a project of printer with 2 X and 2 Y. Thank you

                          @droftarts It's cool you've got added this notes for the futures IDEX users. Thank you.

                            @noisettetbou You probably meant M584 and not M594.
