Hide axis from DWC

[adammhaile]

Is it possible to hide an axis from the movement controls in DWC? I've got an E3D ToolChanger and DWC shows the C axis which is the tool coupler - which I never want to accidentally move because that could decouple and drop the tool. That axis should only ever be moved via macro. But I cannot yet find any way to hide it from the UI. Any thoughts?

Nice! Completely missed that. Thanks!

@Veti actually, no - that doesn't seem to work. I mean, it does in that it doesn't show the C axis now. But it also won't home the C axis anymore. I can even directly call my homec.g script and nothing happens.

@adammhaile You have to unhide the axis to be able to home it.

You can unhide the axis at the start of homing, and hide it again at the end of homing, using M584 with just the P parameter.

@dc42 ah, ok, I could add that to my homec.g script. What exactly is being filtered out? I have a homeall.g which calls M98 homec.g at the beginning.... which is just this:

;crashc
G92 C260
M913 C40			; C MOTOR TO 40% CURRENT
G1 C-260 F2400  ; drive the C-axis to the stop
M913 C100			; C MOTOR TO 100% CURRENT
G1 C1 F50000
G92 C0
 

There's no actual normal homing commands on this "axis". So I don't really understand what part of this is getting skipped.
