    Hiding static components

    There is a HIDDEN axis priority that behaves like the STATIC priority but does not show in the Machine Tool Position dialog. For example:

    <machine_part>
      <axis>
        <control_info ADDRESS="T" HOME="0" VALUE="0" PRIORITY="HIDDEN" />
        <simple_rotary X="0" Y="2550" Z="0" I="0" J="0" K="1" />
      </axis>
    </machine_part>
