Can we program and create our own user definable sections - keys - values in the machine.ini file? ...or are we only limited to what is given?

no fair saying "a plugin can"  ;)

Can we just open the *.ini file in a text editor and create our own then reference them in scripts in so far as we are just building our own information structures where values can be saved and recalled....

See, this is my problem...I get excited, want to experiment, go down a rabbit hole but still need to do the original project...this is how schedule slips happen, lol!

Showing multiple stay on top wizards, all seeming to work well with the merging screen set data.

And a Lot of merging of code "screen load" and "PLC" scripts.  8)

wrote a little test script for under a button that aligns the master slave association.

homing X finds the switches and resets the counts to zero as usual.

then hit the button to auto remap the slave axis, set the counts off (3000 in this example) , it then moves to zero on that axis then sets them back to correct master slave relationships. Happens fast and automatically. Just have to know how many counts they are out.

was not possible till Steve added the API control to set home with a mc.mcMotorSetHomePos call.

Thanks Steve.

Yeah thanks Steve, been busting my head with mc.mcAxisSetMachinePos(inst,0,0.0) but mc.mcMotorSetHomePos(inst,0,0) sorted it.

Came across an Easter Egg today

Ctrl-Alt-Shift and then click the middle mouse button, and up pops this.

I just want to know what possessed you in the first place to click Ctrl-Alt-Shift and click the middle mouse button ;-)

The wxWidget screen will come up with just CTRL+ALT+ middle mouse click.
