Hey Francis,

to throw the rubberband around objects, the starting point must lie outside of any object, otherwise you would select the smallest object hit by the mouse. If you selected unwanted objects by doing so, you can deselect them, by holding down the shift key an clicking each unwanted object.

Hey all

I released version 1.26. Here some info's about v1.26

Additional checkboxes and settings in options -> settings  generic prog settings.
1) "Use larger font edit fields". When checked, the text is shown with a slightly larger font.
2) "Set edit text selected". When checked, the whole text is selected at first double click.
3) When in edit field "cycle time" a value > 0 is entered, the actual data is stored cyclic. In case of an abnormal termination of the program at next start, a messag box asks whether to reload, or ignore  this stored data. The value must be between 0 and 2880. Important !   This cyclic storage doesn't work when a "New" design is started, you have to execute the "save", or  "save as" command, in order to enable this feature.
The cursor can now be positioned within the edit field by the mouse.
New menu item options -> "Set MachScreen as default screen editor" added. Meaning, if MachScreen is not running, double clicking a set-file with the explorer, starts MachScreen  and loads the set-file.
When a larger number of objects were selected with the rubberband, the selection could get scrumbled, fixed

Hi Lefrai,


I thought a bit deeper about your problem. Forget what I wrote before, it is nonsens. The best is to build a bitmap with your cyrillic text and put it on the button.

Hi Lefrai,

I'm not sure whether I can help you at all. First I don't know if diffrent character sets like cyrilic are supported by Mach3, second if I could help you, it would only with Machscreen. The following procedure assumes the language setting english. 
If you would use MachScreen, create a new screen and add a button. Be sure the button is selected and doubleclick in the line of "text on control" the string "text" (the background color changes to blue) and write your text in cyrilic.

Hi Scott,

1) go to page with source text, select object, doubleclick the text to copy in the property dialog (background color changes to blue) press ctrl C.
2) go to page where you want to paste the text, select object, doubleclick the text where to insert the new text (background color changes to blue) press ctrl V.
3) doubleclick the text you want to edit, press cursor right key.

If this doesn't work, please tell me.


Klaus
