General Mach Discussion / Config Fonts Doesn't Appear to Work

« on: December 16, 2006, 05:00:38 PM »

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before but I am working on the principle that "The only stupid question, is the one you don't ask"

I have just installed my first trial of Mach3 and have stumbled into a (hopfully trivial) problem...
I have installed the program on my House PC to "get used to it" before installing it in the workshop.

My PC is set to 1280x1024 resolution, as this is the native res of the LCD.
I also have my fonts set to 120% (otherwise they are too small to see!)

When I open Mach3 the fonts do not fit in their boxes properly. So I tried the "Config... Fonts..." menu. This does not actually change the fonts in any window and it does not save the setting between 2 opens of the dialog. Well that is not exactly true... If you change the font face then it remembers it, if you change the size then it does not.

Am I missing something??

Thanks
Simon

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: MACH SDK & Visual Studio 97

Brian,

Thanks for the reply. I realised that the SDK was written for VC++ 2003. However there is usually no real reason for needing the latest compiler. I have no intention of spending the £500 or so upgrading from VC++6 when I have no other need for the upgrade!

Are you saying that MACH3 plugins cannot be compiled in VC6? or just that 2003 is the version you are using??

Thanks
Simon

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / MACH SDK & Visual Studio 97

« on: November 06, 2006, 03:36:48 PM »

Hi Guys,

I would like to develop a plugin but do not have the latest version of Visual Studio. I only have Visual Studio 97 which has VC++6

Has anyone got a sample plugin environment for VC6? or does MACH3 require a later version of VStudio?

Thanks
Simon
