Yup, that helps! I was mainly looking to see what new API calls had been added in recently, and what they do.

Hello
In the new wx4 screen set I can't find where you can set your spindle speed range. Could that be added to the spindle control panel please?
Thanks
Steve

In the "OLD" wx4 it was on the Diagnostics page. No longer there? I added it to my "OLD" wx4 main page long ago, and you can do the same if you like. I don't really like the darkened "NEW" wx4 so I only glanced at it and went back to my modified "OLD" wx4!!

I can't find it anywhere in any of the pages on the new screen. It should be with the spindle start and stop buttons if you ask me - I need to set the range every time I use Mach 4.

I have mine by the spindle start/stop buttons!! It's easy to do, look at the button on the diagnostics page, in the screen editor, IF it's there, and just duplicate it in a new spot on the main page near the spindle controls. I added that and a box to show the top speed of the selected range (was pulley in Mach3!). I have a step pulley Bridgeport clone, so 9 ranges for me, 4 of them reverse.

If all else fails and there is no RANGE selector in the new wx4 screen, go get it from the old wx4 and create it in the new wx4, assuming you LIKE the new wx4 dark look!!

Well, I fired up 4612 and I can't find how to change "RANGE" either, it's nowhere I could find it.

I'll attach some screenies of how I have mine, in a modified version of old wx4. Remember, if you're using wx4 stock, if you make changes, rename the wx4 to something of your choosing or it'll overwrite on a new install.

One shows mine
Two shows where it is in stock OLD wx4, which you likely know
Three shows my button setting for the main page Range setting.

OH, and the yellow box is where I can manually enter a spindle speed!!

The Lathe screen set has it on the main page.  Steal it from there.

Thanks for the suggestions - I have been copying it for years as you have said. This forum was supposed to be for feedback and that was all I was doing here. Just saying it would be good if it could be a standard inclusion.

Right you are. Sorry I didn't pick up on it.

I'm using this with my own modified screen set, so I can't comment on that.

However, there is a bug in the single stepping that's changed the behaviour. It starts off correctly, starting the spindle when I execute that block, and it goes on through comments and tool changes as expeced (I don't use tool changes, it just skips them) However, when it comes to execute the first move, nothing happens except that it skips the block on the screen. When I single step again, it then executed the previous block and remains out of sync by one block from then on.
