Thanks Fernando, I think I've got the idea now.
Just one thing, when I select "Edit Button Script", then select the button, I entered the code saved it as 03mm.ms1.
How do I tell the button to keep using that script, everytime I open the script for that button it is blank???
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks again.

Can you do the script in Screen Designer 4 and save your screen set?

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to have the toolpath preview window display the program that is run after you depress the button.
Also is it possible to have a single sblock button, I tried one and it didn't work (single step).
Thanks.

in order to be able to have a toopath window, and be able to single step, you will need to add a button to post the code directyl on the mach3 window, look at other wizards that have the post code button to learn how to do that. I dont know for sure how to do that, but looking at ready made wizards will help you for sure.

Hi guys,

I am new to this particular forum, being the developer of the CNC Quilting Machine.  I am looking for some code that will assist me in determining the number of repetitions that I can sew into a given area.  Given, only two axis are used, x=length and y=width.  where y will be constant at approx. 6-8 inches, x can be as short as 10 inches or as long as 70 inches.  What I would like to do is be able to input the size of the pattern, i.e., 8"x7" and return the number of repititions that will fit in the x length.  Simple division, but I am not a whiz with math.  Help!!!!
