Can anyone make a "normal" windows screen design please? 0:-)

Heard that there are some scripts to write GCode from within Autocad.

I've played with Cabinet Vision at the shop my cousin works at, now that's a nice program. Lot of money. They DNC directly to 3 large routers. They sure make cabinets fast. I was shocked how fast they could design and cut a complete job. They don't repair much, they would rather just go make another one.

I'll be looking forward to your cabinet package, good luck!

Yep, cabinet software is big money. We have Cabnetware, but it was another $5000 to get it to export the .dxf files, so I wrote my own.

If I can write a decent program at a fair price, I might be able to make a few bucks.

Here's one that I am working on.  Let me know what you think.

Anyone want to try this out and let me know what you think? It's a Flash screen, so you need the Flash Plugin. After using View>Load screens, close and restart Mach3.

It's a very early beta version. Start, pause, and stop work, and you can toggle jogging on/off. The toolbar buttons all work. The one after the wizards turns the toolpath on/off and the next is regen toolpath.

The temporary reset button is the last tab when the GCode Tab is active.

I wouldn't try running a machine with it, but it will load and run code.

Thanks, and let me know what you think.

I never had luck with the right side of the screen, not a bit of text or graphics, so kind of gave up on it for now.

Hi Gerry,

Tried out the screen set, and it seems it would be just what Roelli may be interested in as it's very simplistic and to the point. The toolpath button does not work for me, but not sure if you knew that.

Running Version R3.041

Should be interesting to see if he likes it.
Good job so far.

I'm just a lurker. I don't have any machine to try it on. But it looks very good Gerry  Thank you very much for all the time you have laid down in this screen and all the other screens!

Dave, do you mean the toolpath doesn't display at all? If so, I had the same problem. I didn't get a toolpath with ANY Flash screens. Updating Mach to the current version got it working, and it kept working even if I dropped back to older versions.

Hi Gerry,

No sir, I meant that I can see the toolpath just fine, but the button does nothing for me when clicked on.

Thanks,
Dave
