    Jog no longer responding

    Jog no longer responding.

    Jog was working fine. Loaded, ran G-code and everythng is happy.

    Went to jog to the start.... no jog function when I use the keyboard.

    I'll fess up to looking at wizards and different screens, but after that lost my function to jog.

    I know it is something simple, just wish I could figure out what I did!

    Did you hit the tab key and make sure it's on in the "hand wheel".

    Sometimes it helps to step back and think for a moment.

    In the main screen DIAGNOSTICS (Alt-7)
    There is a JOG ON-OFF (Ctrl + Alt + J).

    Jog is functional, of course I found that hiding in plane sight after doing everything else (reboot, reload MACH3, scratch my head). Thankfully Green light was on (G540), system wasn't in reset, and I could confirm "keys" under hot keys still worked.

    Now how the heck I did a [ Ctrl Alt J ] key stoke, I don't know. I was trying to bring up/close down wizards, so just hit the right combo without realizing it. I printed the manual, so I'll copy that inside the front cover so a year from know when I ask.....

    Thanks once again to all who responded, I appreciate it!
