Here is something made up in a hurry. Just to practice using screen 4. I can't get the "dros" to move on screen or with my keyboard. Like I said before every other screen I load including benny's the "dros" start counting up when I load it in screen 4. Oh what is a "SKIN"? And somehow I lost the actual screen I was working on in Realdraw. Anyway another day for that. Btw could someone give a quick rundown of how benny made the button go from red to green in the 45sec  LED video. I know he's explaining it ,but is that a red jpeg bitmap that he drew in realdraw and screen 4 changes it to green ? Thanks again guys for all your help.   Rich

There's a checkbox to "skin" a DRO. The skin is a semitransparent image to make the DRO look like it's under glass (or something).

Check the skinned box, then select an image, and when you close the dialog, the DRO will stat counting.

Here's more info on what's in the video.

Hi Hacker77

on my website you can download a tutorial and a video, which gives you a rough idea how to work with MachScreen. The video is zipped and has a size of about 28MB, this may take a while to download.
The download path is:

Klaus,

Thanks for the video, for some reason I have a habit of making things seem a LOT harder than they really are. Your video helped a lot and I'll give this screen designer some more use for sure.

Thanks,
Dave

Benny on one of your screen sets in the scale axis "dro" you have +1.0, how do you put that value in without all the zero's on the end? On other screen's people just left it be .WhenI type in +1.0 all the zero's come back. Any info would be great.   Thanks Richard

Change the format in the screen designer. Don't have it in front of me, but it's something like f%+0.1
In Mach Screen you can just specify the decimal places and it does the format for you.

Gerry that works great I'm sitting here playing with MachScreen and trying to learn it. I'm liking it more and more. Thanks for all your help.

What oem code would you have to use for a vacuum table button or a dust extractor button? Or does those have to be done with scripts?
