Thanks Klaus.

Its been a few years since Ive done much with screen, but I used to do quite a bit with them in the past.

How hard would it be to add "right click", cut,paste,delete, bring to front, send to back, one step backwards, one step forwards.

I like the setout of your designer so far.

Great work !!

The Pythagorean theorem: The sum of the areas of the two squares on the legs (a and b) equals the area of the square on the hypotenuse (c).     a² + b² = c².

Hi Benny

if this would be of interest for all the other users, I could think about that.

These are great suggestions and I feel certain anyone doing much screen work would love these if they were added. I really appreciate the work you have already done.

Thanks a lot,

Hi

in version V1.19 I added the wanted TrackPopup (context) menu.

When editing a screen I usually have Mach3 running as well as the editor and reload the screenset often to check things I have edited.

Using Screen4 this works OK but when using MachScreen, Mach3 is not able to load the graphic elements. BMPs, PNGs, etc.

So I must close MachScreen before checking the layout in Mach3.

Is this able to be fixed?

That is a great addition Klaus.
That sort of thing makes it much more pleasant to use the designer.
Thanks for that :)

I have other suggestions, but I'm not sure if our suggestions are annoying.
Please let us know if you want them, or not.

Hi Benny

of course you can give your suggestions and wishes, but I cannot promise, to implement all of them.

Hi

@Greg I will have a look at this, but it might take some time.


Don't use version 1.19, use V1.19.1 instead. In version 1.19 you can only save data, if you've added at least one ctrl.

Klaus,
   Thanks for adding the ability to copy/paste. That is great.  :)  I downloaded Version 1.19.1 a few minutes ago and loaded it up to play. Just couldn't wait.  ;D  I opened an exisiting screen set and went to page one, right click, select all, copy, Created a new page, click on the screen and click paste. I get an error message saying Machscreen is not responding and needs to close a few seconds later. This could very well be a problem specific to my computer. This is an older one and in need of a clean install. Can anyone verify this for me? If there is anything I can do to help troubleshoot let me know.

Thanks for making Machscreen and shareing it with us Klaus,
Brett

Happens here too Brett

Playing around it seems that copying a DRO for instance works OK

Copying a button makes it crash.

I have not done sufficient tests to establish more than that yet.
