General Mach Discussion / Re: Why can't I get full screen ?

All I've done so far was download mach and install my license, so the .xml file should be the way I downloaded it.

General Mach Discussion / Why can't I get full screen ?

« on: September 23, 2011, 02:07:01 PM »

I 've been using Mach for a number of years on a CNC mill I built , and never had any issues getting it full screen.
I'm in the process of building a CNC plasma table, and have just downloaded on a different computer but cannot for the life of me get it full screen. Also, the text is not as crisp as the one on my mill.
I have searched here as well as Google, but can't find an answer.
Thanks

BTW, I did go into General Config, and made sure that "auto screen enlarge" was checked off.

OK I think I'm getting it now.
I wasn't clicking back on the screen. I was also expecting to record the clicks as I was moving.
I appreciate your help.

I definitely want to "point record", but like I said before, my skills are limited when using this program. It would be nice if the author had a small tutorial with the program.
My biggest problem is that I don't know if I'm supposed to use this plugin AFTER or BEFORE marking the points on my part.
If I use it AFTER, (which is the way I think it's supposed to be used), how do I record the points as I touch the stylus to my part?
sorry for such stupid questions !!

I downloaded it here at work, and tried to get it to work on a demo version of Mach. It doesn't seem to work, because I now can't even get the MachMill to open up. It has been a while since I've opened this program here at work, and it is on a shared computer, so some files may be corrupt.
I will try and re-instal to see if that helps.
I would rather screw up the program here at work than my legal version at home . :-)

I'm obviously very new at this Mach program, and don't use it too often. Slowly jogging around the part and using  the Jog to Code plugin sounds exactly what I want to do. Where can I get this plugin, and info on how to use it ??
I'll figure most of it out If you'll send me in the right direction.
Thanks
