Mach Screens / Re: FRO Slider Help?

« on: January 04, 2009, 03:10:00 PM »

Hi Brett, sorry about the confusion!

I actually have my own screen set that I wanted to implement the sliders onto as I hate the original colors.

I think I have it figured out now, but never in a million years did I think you had to use the DRO button for a slider, lol!

The trick is the format string, tab group, and the "skined" (should be spelled "skinned"  ) should be checked as well.

Looks and works great but the forum doesn't allow bmp files so my colors look pretty drab

Mach Screens / FRO Slider Help?

« on: January 04, 2009, 02:01:25 PM »

Hi guys, in Screen 4, which button in the left hand window do I choose to setup my own FRO Slider that the red arrow in my screenshot below, shows?

I've tried them all but I don't see that choice in the "system function" drop down box.

Also, in the format string box it says "SDTL5H250%3.0f"

How do I add that?

Thanks,
Dave

Quadrent should be spelled "quadrant"

Looking very nice, all-

General Mach Discussion / Re: Can Mach3 run under windows CE

Funny, I just looked through the board over there and it was actually used as a wireless controller/pendant.

The software was not running Mach 2 itself.

Here's a pic from the yahoo board that has Mach 2 on a PDA but I've never seen any ifo about it.

Anyone know?

Art, from a guy that has not done a lot of lathe work (mostly precision mill and precision form grinding with surface grinders), I don't think I'll be a big help in the way certain tools/tool inserts will be used in their proper application and unfortunately I know nothing about coding.

I will continue to try dxfs and find weird little issues but I'll probably be quiet when getting into this area as I just don't "know" enough about the proper use of certain toolshapes. Sure, I could fake my way through it but I don't want to end up being another "wrench" thrown into the works, if you catch my drift.

Dave,
  If you don't mind, here is just ONE more ...then I gotta go.
3 simple 3pt arcs. Works perfectly in "other" CAM. 
Works well also if drawn the same way with "other" CAD. 

Please post your results,
Thanks.
RC 

Yes, same as you, RC, see screenshot below:
