It was very hard to come up with a way to have the layers simple to use by most all users.. the old way was not working for most of the users and that is why the change... You can still have the the layers the same way you had them from your cad system if you like... We just wanted to make it a more graphical experience :) If you have a chain that needs to have different cutting parameters you can just put it on a new layer.. as for hiding a layer... I think that the best we can do is to show the layer as a ghost chain at this time.

You can but you are going to have to do the dialogs in VB :( check out cypress enabled and I think you can get docs from them :)

Tools.dat is the file that all the data is in and you should be able to read and write to the file from VB :)

You are not a pest, it is good that you would like to know this!

Yes it is moving motors and seems to be working smooth at this time! There is still a bit of a firmware problem should be fixed in a week or so.

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Re: Screw Mapping
« on: November 24, 2006, 01:25:41 PM »
you need to have your homing set up and softlimits working to use this...

As you can see it is the amount off that you are vs. the % of the distance down the screws length. you will need some tools to measure this...
