For everyone who can't get these screens to load properly - make sure you are running Mach3Version D1.90.033
Just downloading and installing it, is not enough. -- Run Mach3 and go to "Help" - "About Mach3"
You are probably still running an old version.
The new button possibilities are AWESOME!

After using a touchscreen for some time now - I have found what would really be sweet, is a premanent, built-in
numeric keypad for dro number entry.
It would also be nice to have a keyboard available at the touch of a button for MDI entry, but a keyboard takes up too much real estate.
I'm dying here for a way to build a persistent NUMERIC keypad right into all the Mach 3 screens.
For anyone working without a touch-screen ---they're worth every penny!

Zealouse - Love the pan and zoom buttons! , and the HUGE toolpath window ! - a "MUST HAVE"
I'm not crazy about the STOP button on the jog controls though --- I also created a jog screen with
"momentary" jog buttons, and found out quite by accident that if you "slide" your finger (or mouse) off the button without lifting it,
the jog remains active until you push the button again - this works really nice

Cowpoke - I just got the the touch screens to work by moving the touch screen folder from the mill bitmaps folder to the bitmaps folder-
I accidentally put it in the mill bitmaps folder by mistake.

Zealouse - Your screen looks great - I am using a touchscreen also, so I can't wait to try your screens out.
( just can't beat a touchscreen for CNC control)
However, I also would like to toss out my keyboard and mouse PERMANENTLY .
Have you made any progress at installing a numeric keypad into mach 3 as you mentioned ?
The best I have been able to do is simulate a keypad by modifying an existing DRO with VB script.

Thanks !
