Hi Gaston,

Wow that sounds strange.

I’ve had it tested on Vista and XP and had a few people double check it for me.

It sounds like it can't find the programs icon, but it’s strange that it works if put in different location

It might be a bad download, try to delete the folder and redownload.
If this doesn't resolve it move it off the desktop and let me know if that works.

Mach XML Decrypter/Organizer
(Programmed in C++ and Action Script)

-Nothing to install
Translates your Mach XML into a format that is easy to find what you’re looking for and organizes it.

-Unzip “Mach_XML_Reader.zip”
-Double click the “Mach_XML_Reader.exe”
-Drag and drop a XML file in to the window

 Easily load and view your XML settings:
1.   Data grid layout to Easley find and understand setting.
2.   Organize the XML by: Settings, Parameter or values.
3.   Edit, Save and Back up your XML.
4.   Search Parameter by names.
5.   NO need to close the window just keep dragging and dropping XML’s

Enhancments needed to be made:
1.             Search feature you have to type the word identical to the parameter
2.             Save changes before going to the next "Settings". Example if you make changes under "Preferences", you will need to hit the save button before going to "Control" or your changes are lost.

If there are enough people using this and report back of features they would like to see added, then I will finish up the “Search word” feature.

Currently to find what you want with the search feature you have to type the word identical to the parameter, I can code it as you type it will organize the data (like Google does now), but this will take more time and if people don’t use it there is no reason for me to add it.

Please always backup your XML

Flash Screens / Re: Flash Screens & Wizards

Art and Brian are re enable this ability in the latest versions of Mach so I can included an example for you.
As soon as they make that update I will post the demo file here.

When it is ready you will have 2 options to load screens.

---------To create "Wizards" or load external data in Flash--------

-Option 1
Mach's conventional screen ".set" using SWF

Benefits are: you can load flash "SWF" wizards using a Mach's conventional screen ".set"

1. Create a Folder in your : C:\Mach3\Addons\
2. Start Mach and load wizard.


-Option 2
Flash screen "Load External data"

Using: "Load Movie" (which is a way to load external swf's,data,text file,picture,movies)

Benefits are you can load many different file types (exp: swf, .set, xml, flv, mov, bmp, png, jpg, css, html, php...) .
You can also load as many as you would like at once, and  as well as display them in any location and size you wish.

This is very hard to explain without a demo file...will have one as soon as they are done.

Hi Fever16,

100% any issues or bugs found are fixed, one on one phone support is available at Mach Motion as well.

Give a call or email for support, we love to talk about Mach, CNC machining as well as suggestions and enhancements you would like to see.

Our mission is to make the very best CNC GUI available.

Mach Motion has added a large number of enchantments to the screen since Version 1.2.0, which in turn may have some of their functionality turned off by default.
This is a result of the "Stored Settings" available in the screen. Your settings are not "overwritten" when installing an update or reinstalling the screen, so we have added an option in the installer to "Restore Default Settings".

We are almost done with the documentation for the screen and will have it available locally in the screen as well as via the web.


LED 1813 set to "0" will turn on the keyboard via VB.

Here is a list of some commands you can call to the screen via VB:

Flash Screens / Re: Flash problem

Notified when a key is pressed. To use onKeyDown, you must create a listener object.
You can then define a function for onKeyDown and use addListener() to register the listener with the Key object, as shown in the following example:

Code: [Select]

var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {

    trace("DOWN -> Code: "+Key.getCode()+"\tACSII: "+Key.getAscii()+"\tKey: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));

};
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {

    trace("UP -> Code: "+Key.getCode()+"\tACSII: "+Key.getAscii()+"\tKey: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));

};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
