If it's still doesn't work after changing the location you can manual enter the path as well by opening the XML in note pad and write the full director path.

Mach Screens / Re: Screen Designer Quirks?

I agree, that this is a problem    at times I'm not sure it the button is correct or not, I'll do the same thing to refresh it's state by going to another page an than returning.

The good thing is we'er almost done with the Flash screens and the LED buttons work great. Important thing is the LED buttons can not reflect anything other than there true state, and you can have an infinite amount of states for one LED button

Mach Screens / Re: New screen & arrow keys

You have to have a Jog button on the page for it to work. If you don't want to display the Jog On/Off button you could place it out side the stage, or use an image button without an image

General Mach Discussion / Re: Question, hotkeys

I always use the keyGrabber, also located in the Mach folder, you can open up the screen designer from there as well. I've set up joysticks and other divices this way.

If you want to know what the Ascii or Keycode I believe the Keygrabber will tell you or this will tell you most of them:
You need flash to view it 

                              You'll have to click the Flash window once to break the seal to view your key press results

Mach Screens / Re: Do we need the artificial glare ?

« on: January 09, 2007, 05:48:50 AM »

I agree that the screens should be more geared towards functionality and ease of use than realism.
I think there is going to be the full gamut of screens to chose from coming out here soon.

Just notice this new screen 

So that's how you make a good machine interface!

Did you model it around hardwear you already have?

Third party software and hardware support forums. / MoI (Moment of Inspiration) 3D modeling/CAD program

« on: January 07, 2007, 07:52:21 PM »

Great program and very easy to use and currently free for beta vertions  , but it is very stable!!!

From MOI website about the desighner:
"Michael Gibson created Rhino when He worked for Robert McNeel.
Michael Gibson:  "Triple Squid Software Design is a single-person company. My history, very briefly, is I worked at Robert McNeel & Associates from 1993-1999, then at Microsoft 1999-2003. In 2003 I decided that the time was right to leave Microsoft and do my own company. Since then I've been working on MoI on my own."

Currently will export:(Soon to have export abilities of DXF,DMG...)
-Iges
-Oject
-STL
-(Native Rhino files) 3DM
-3Ds

Just thought I'd share.

Cool screen!
Don't think they'll mind posting the picture as well.
I like how they have the MDI above the Gcode view.
