Need help w/Skew Correction in Marlin 1.1.7

Does skew correction only correct during delta calibration / bed leveling or also correct skew when printing parts?


I dont know how to activate this feature.
In console:
M852
Outputs:
Skew Factor XY: 0.00 XZ: 0.00 YZ: 0.00

Printer is a 3ku Delta.
bowden setup
0.4 nozzle, nozzle as electric contact - connect to Zmin
heated bed.

It prints nicely with 1.1.7. I just havent figured out how to enable this feature.


Stock Code:

/**
 * Bed Skew Compensation
 *
 * This feature corrects for misalignment in the XYZ axes.
 *
 * Take the following steps to get the bed skew in the XY plane:
 *  1. Print a test square (e.g., [www.thingiverse.com])
 *  2. For XY_DIAG_AC measure the diagonal A to C
 *  3. For XY_DIAG_BD measure the diagonal B to D
 *  4. For XY_SIDE_AD measure the edge A to D
 *
 * Marlin automatically computes skew factors from these measurements.
 * Skew factors may also be computed and set manually:
 *
 *  - Compute AB     : SQRT(2*AC*AC+2*BD*BD-4*AD*AD)/2
 *  - XY_SKEW_FACTOR : TAN(PI/2-ACOS((AC*AC-AB*AB-AD*AD)/(2*AB*AD)))
 *
 * If desired, follow the same procedure for XZ and YZ.
 * Use these diagrams for reference:
 *
 *    Y                     Z                     Z

Upgraded to v1.1.8. still can't see skew correction active.
Now using:
**Initialize eeprom;
M502
M501
M852 <----- Correct spot???
M500

Heat bed
Heat nozzle

**Delta configuration
G28
M665 B70
G33 P3 V2 F5
//M500 Normally I'd do a save here for delta config info

**Bed leveling
G29 P1
G29 S1
G29 A
M500

** edit mesh (multiplie iterations) just learned this weekend
G26 B60 H205 F1.75 L0.2 S0.4
G29 P4
G29 S

The aboves works for me as far as getting printer up and running.
I've added M852 right after eeprom initialization??? Correct?? I'm still getting a 0.0 skews as B4.
