I added a DRO to the standard screenset that lets me select the Spindle Range, but when I close Mach4 and re-open it, the range goes back to zero.

How can i have Mach4 remember this setting?

have a look at using script to save the value of the dro to your profile, and then load it on startup.

write to .ini its in the scripting manual in the manual section of mach web site

Correct, thats what writing to the profile does ;-) by doing it that way it auto writes in the ini and auto loads it on startup.

I looked thru the .ini file and I don;t see a setting that is in there for the selected spindle range.

How do I know the format that this entry should have?

You can add any settings to the .ini file that you want, and use any format you want.

OK, what is the format to write this stuff to the ini? Is this documented somewhere?

And this means there is no "standard" .ini setting for spindle range, right? So I will have to use a script to take care of saving and restoring.

give me a little more explanation on the dro.

what sets its value or what value it sets etc and i will write one for you as an example to you on track.

The DRO is set to DRO Code "Spindle Range"

thanks,

have a look at this
