Have troubles switching between two ethernet stepper motors

Hi,
 
Please see the attached files.
Only the Axis which was initialized first is moving. The same motor moves from Step 1 (Rotate)-->Step 2 (Tilt Up)--> Step 3 (Tilt Down).
The other axis is not moving at all.
 
Could you please help me solve this problem?
 
Many thanks,
Cathy

I have the same problem. Once one axis has been interacted with, any attempt to move (or do anything else) on the second axis moves the first axis instead. I've tried invoking Destroy Motion Reference and disabling the axis but to no avail. The only way I've been able to switch the axis is by aborting and restarting the VI.

Will really appreciate if NI engineers can test two Ethernet motors physically instead of using Simulated axes.

This is a known issue and has been resolved in the latest SoftMotion patch, 2014 SP1 f2. You candownload this from:
