Update.
I'm going to integrate the Big Tex Auto Zero routines. After the initial touch off to a moveable plate, all following tool changes automatically autozero to a fixed plate on the machine. All you need to do is change the tool and press cycle start. I hope to get this working in a few weeks.

It'll also have the X-Y auto zero that's in my Aqua screen.

I think I'll also integrate a version of Art's probing wizard. I know it's not the fastest method, but I already have an AutoCAD macro that creates a mesh from it's point cloud.

I need to change the coolant icons to just M7 and M8, since router users don't really use mist and flood. :)

Anyway, the main screen doesn't change, only the tabs.

I would certainly think Roelli would be quite happy withthis screen set -

Even though it's not my style ( I like what are called by many: Loud and annoying screen sets, lol!), I'm seriously impressed with your work, as it's very clean and "classy" as always, Gerry.

Gerry, you are to be congratulated on your screen set. It is the cleanest, clearest, most uncluttered screen I have yet seen for Mach and I for one will definitely be in the queue when you decide to release it. Just brilliant.

Well done,

Mike

Gerry VERY well done,  IF you have ever worked with a new modern controller say a  HAAS it has a very similar feel to it.  AND it is very easy to work with. Easy on the eyes and works WELL with a limited MOUSE approach. Please consider making it more Fbutton freindly and less MOUSE friendly

Keep up the good work. I am impressed with the Function before glitter approach(;-)

Can you be more specific? I'm getting ready to start adding keyboard shortcuts, and any feedback is helpful. Most of the layout is done.

Getting ready to start working on the diagnostics. Most of it is functional right now.

It's going to be $20 when it's done. There will also be a 4 axis version as well.

To be more Fbuttom or Fkey friendly you would apply a Fkey to each button or tab so it can be accessed via the keyboard and NOT require the use of the mouse.  BUT you also need to Lable each button/tab as to the Fkey used.

It wouls also be helpfull IF you could enter data into a DRO without the use of the mouse to hightlight the dro???   Maybe tab thru the options???
