this code is supposed to drive the attached NC file.. any clues why mach sits there just looking at me instead?

Msgbox("Please click [OK] to start cutting hub hole")

 Code("G0X0Y0Z50A0")
   While IsMoving()
   Sleep 100
   Wend

 Code("M98(femhole.nc)")

Machscreen Screen Designer / Re: Screendesigner "machscreen"
« on: May 14, 2009, 02:41:58 AM »
ummm global resize would be nice too... take a 1024x768 screen up to 1280x1024 for example with a simple click.. seems a feasable thing to be able to do???  maybe it can allready but i just missed that bit?


I created all my bitmaps in Photoshop at 1280x1024, but designed the screen at 1024x768. I let Mach3 enlarge it to 1280x1024 and it looks fine. I see no benefit to having the screen designer "enlarge" the screen when mach3 will already do it.

oops let me rephrase

i used those numbers just because they were handy, but in fact when i full screen mach with autoscale screen option on my wide screen it stretches to width and not height, and everything looks screwy with a large white band along the bottom.. figured if i could input a nominal set of numbers and force my screen to a certain size then i could control how my screen would be "skewed" instead of mach? Similarly if i mounted a 7 inch widescreen touch panel against my machine i would have the same scaling issue.

making sense?
