A couple more small issues.  See attached screenshot.

All the labels should be the same font and color but one acts like it's in bold. "Z Down Feed"

Also, the UserDRO's have the last digit overlapping the right side of the frame.

Is there anything that can be done to fix those items?

The "bold" font is a limitation of the way Mach3 displays text. The smaller the text, the more likely it will display "funny". Can you post the .set file so I can look at those DRO's?

Okay....  Why only that one looks bold?

Here is the screen, page 11.

How it looks can change depending on where it is on the screen. All the text on my screen is done with

I won't be able to look at the screen for a couple hours, but I'll let you know what i find.

It's not the User DRO's, it's any DRO without a "skin".

When you add the skin, it shifts the numbers to the left.

Now, to get rid of that overlapping border, go to General Config and Uncheck "Boxed DRO's and Graphics". Not sure why it overlaps the numbers, I guess you could call it a minor display bug.

First,  Thank you for all the help!
Mach allows me to jog around with my arrow keys but when my screen 11 is displayed they no longer work.  My jog buttons on the screen work fine, but the keyboard arrow keys don't.

What in the word would cause that?

You need a Jog On/Off button on each screen you want to jog on.
