Hi bjm323,
Yes it is and from what I have heard we now have the "Feed Hold" LED working in Mach! This will alow us to toggle between "RUN" and "Feed Hold" depending on the state of the machine

another thing you might want to disable the ability to "Right click" on the desktop as well...


Open up the "run" command (if it is disabled use 'Windows Key' + R)
Type in "regedit" but without the quotations. Then push enter.
Navigate to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
Look for the value name "NoViewContextMenu" (if no such value exists, then just go ahead and create it)
Make sure the type is REG_DWORD
Type in a 0 to disable right clicking and a 1 to enable right clicking.
Restart your computer after the modification.

Make sure you create a backup of your registry and create a system restore point.

Do a VBS or CMD on start up that will remove all access to the taskbar and start menu, modify windows boot and shut down screen (this can all be allot of work) then  "Hide desktop". BTW If Windows comes out with an update you can lose your Boots screen and you will have to recopy over the files.

 "Hide desktop"

1. Right-click on your desktop.

2. Select Arrange Icons By.

3. You will see a Show Desktop Icons with a check on it; click that.

4. To return the appearance of your desktop items, repeat steps one through three.


Its a pain but if you do image copy of the drive for production then its worth it

ahhh OK then if you would like to use the native Mach Gcode we will have to request it...but I think that the Flash Gcode will give you much more control and will work much better.

You can also grab Gcode line numbers at any time you want...also change color depending on the M or Gcode or have Icons( image)..
Here is a video demo of the components in action...actually http://alphagraphicdesigns.com/machmotion/test/MM_demo.html
there are a large amount of benefits and control you get from using them:

you could request the feature from Brian in the Yahoo group...I will have to double check but I believe the XML only holds the font type. If the Size, color and line count are located in the XML you could change it there.

Hi Airborne,
I will have the Mach components ready with in the next 2 weeks, included in it is the Gcode component that will do what you want as well as 100's of other things

Otherwise you will have to create your own Gcode interpreter in Flash.

Hi Gaston,

I'm thinking then it must stem to name length and when I compile it.
I will change that in the next release.
Thanks for finding that!

Gaston,

I am not getting any reports of issue with the program from others, so I am quessing it is something specific to your system.

Try to download the XML reader without it being Zipped as well as I shortened the name and removed the splash screen:

If that doesnt work you may have a problem with your browser, repair it or reinstall:

it sounds like you are running it on VIsta...it is not supported for Vista 

Either that or make sure you have targeted the "Mach Location" correctly: Default/Mach Location
