Hi Shaom

one reason could be your used regional settings. Perhaps you try a region which uses  a dot "." as separator (e.g. US).

Hi Graham

if "Guide through settings" is set, this function asks for:
target directory (this directory must reside under Bitmaps),
select the pages,
copy or move
file types
control types

all bitmaps found are copied / moved to the target directory and the pathfilenames in the screenset are set to the new path.

This function can not be undone

Hello

I released MachScreen version V1.71.
Changes:
Minor bug-fixes in function "Collect bitmap files". Control-element types can now be used as a filter.
A few words to that function.
It scans the screenset for bitmap-files and copies / moves them to another folder. This could be handy, to trim bitmap folders from unused bitmaps, or get a new folder organization. It can be dwnloaded from https://kd-dietz.com

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 adding symbold / characters occasionally when loading gcode.

if this happens even with the same file only occasionally, I would assume a hardware problem. Did you change anything on your computer or cabling? Is Meshcam and Mach3 running on the same computer? That can have many reasons.

Hi YP

with MachScreen make sure "Multiple selection" is checked (second icon from the right in the toolbar. If you hit the led, a window opens up showing the components in the current order. Change order by tragging the LED up or down to your desired order.

Machscreen Screen Designer / Re: Change background color of DRO when not in position

You could use the macropump.
To use it, it has to be enabled in the   Config -> General config   by checking the "Run Macro Pump" checkbox.
Your script has to be placed in a file named "macropump.m1s".
This file has to reside in your current profile. Mach3 runs this file approximately 40 times in a second.

Hi Roy

here is a example for setting the LED depending on the compare result

If (GetDRO(0) <> GetUserDRO(1000)) Then     ' 1000 is  user DRO number
   SetUserLED(1000,1)
Else
   SetUserLED(1000,0)
end if

Hi Roy

Mach uses one color for all DRO's. You can put a LED in your script to solve your problem. Use MachScreen and
place a LED on your screen.
Set the OEM-code to 1000 or higher, make sure the LED number isn't used already
add a red/green LED
set the "Red/greenLED""  to "YES"
additions in your script
at the beginning
SetUserLED(1000, 1)
at the end
SetUserLED(1000,0)

Hi Jeff,

if you'd send me your screenset (including the bitmaps), I'll have a look at it.
