General Mach Discussion / Re: Script Editor Font Too Small

« on: June 16, 2012, 10:35:13 AM »

I saw something similar last night working on a new Conversational Drill Wizard. When I would open the button code it came UP very small but as soon as I clip on it to edit it would pop back up large again. ?

Sounds like a video thing maybe.  I banged on it for about an hour looking for the cause but gave up.

Probably a windows setting like  fontsize DPI. I know that will effect the numbers fitting in the DROs.

General Mach Discussion / IF you could add new Gcode functions to Mach3 what would you want?

Just curious as to what users would add to the Gcode Functions side IF they could.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

Over the years there have been a LOT of things that I can get to work HERE on my setup that does NOT always work elsewhere on THEIR Machines.

IF you setup a button an LED and a DRO to drive the function it SHOULD work for you.  Input the multiplier for the FRO then press the button and the LED should come ON and the current feedrate should be multiplied by the DRO value. AND you should see the increase on the main screen .

IF a Z- move goes UP you have the z axis backwards to normal convention.

General Mach Discussion / Re: RunScript() ??

« on: June 13, 2012, 08:52:34 PM »

OK FINALLY figured it out.  

RunScript(" macros\mach3mill\MsgBoxScript")

YOU have to give it a "partial path"  so it can find the file ?.  THAT is not mention in any example explanation. It shows JUST using the filename .

Normally you would use the ENTIRE PATH or just the file name assuming MACH3 KNOWS where you are suppose to put the file.(;-)

Never saw it done this way.

VERY confusing so say the least, (;-) TP
