What program are you using to edit/make a screen?

Thanks Klaus,
    I see you added the export button at the bottom of the overview window..... thanks. I can export as a csv now.    Once I exported, I have tried to open with works database, open office calc (spread sheet) and also tried to save as an xls and open with works and open office. In every case I get the same results. Columns 1 and 2 in the overview view are in coulmns. All other columns are grouped in a third column. I will keep trying but if anyone else can give it a go, let us know if you figure it out. I also noticed I can select all columns and rows in the overview now too. I tried to copy by hitting Ctrl C and then paste into a spread sheet by hitting Ctrl V to see if I could get a spread sheet that way.  

Thanks Klaus, This is great and getting better all the time.

That is decided by your axis. Looking at the toolpath window, the x will run left to right and the y will be top to bottom.

That's just cool Tweakie............... Very neat. Can you cut acetal with it I wonder? I think that is right......... it is a clear thin film used often to make stencils for airbrushing.

Thanks Klaus, those are great features you have added. I noticed if I drag select multiple items and hold down shift I can click on one and deselect. To reselect I hold down Ctrl + Shift. Ctrl + Shift will also deselect single items.

If I copy and paste an item, I get the dialog box asking which pages to paste the item in. This is nice  . I see that if I want to select multiple consecutive pages I just hold down shift and select first and last page number. If I want to select multiple random pages I just hold down Ctrl and select all pages I want to paste to individually. That is very slick Klaus. 

I too agree that global re-size isn't necessary since Mach will do that. Multi item re-size  would be nice IMO but honestly that is almost asking to be spoiled. LOL  It really is great as it is now Klaus.

I may be missing something, but the only other 6 things I can think of that would make this program as complete as I can imagine are.

1) Z level ordering (layers) which I realise Brian would need to work with you on this.

2) The ability to edit items from the overview page.  √  Done

3) The ability to either copy and paste into a spread sheet all the columns in the overview page or export as a spread sheet.  √  Done

4)You have given us the gifts of being able to sort by columns in the overview page and print. These are soooooo useful. If you could apply a filter to the sorting so that you could sort by multiple columns (like in a spread sheet) and then edit items from the list, I can't imagine how powerful that would be.

5) Horizontal Sliders

6) An editable snap to grid.

Klaus, I can't think of the words to say to show my true appreciation for what you have done already.

Thanks so much,
Brett

NC Pod / Re: Problem configuring NC Pod

« on: May 10, 2009, 06:33:47 PM »

Freddy, I know nothing of the NC pod. Do you have the ncpod dll file in your C:/Mach 3/plugins folder?

If so, did you open Mach and go to the config tap at the top, config plug-ins and enable the plug-in?

I'm not sure if it will be configured from there or if once it is enabled, close Mach and reopen, Then go to Plugin control tab at top and see if there is a ncpod cofig, in that drop down.
