Need Help!- Linking hotkeys to Mach3 screen controls.

[BOXJOINT]

I am in the process of making a control panel with left over parts from my MAME arcade project.
I was thinking of building a control panel with a 8 way joystick control and buttons for the touch plate.

Has anyone attemped something similar to that?
I am using the MiniPAC from Ultimarc
Welcome to Ultimarc, the Ultimate in Arcade Controls.
The arrow controls for the x and y axis movements are already programmed in the MiniPAC.
What I am looking to do is to have a one button to activate the touch plate routine that I can
link to the MiniPAC default settings. What I need to do is to assign a Hotkey for the touch plate
routine and then link it to the MiniPAC.



Is this possible? I have searched but did not find much on assignment of hotkeys for Mach3.

Thanks

Michel

You need to add a button on the screen to run the routine and set the hotkey for the button. This is done with the screen designer.

Thanks Gerry,

Where do I get the screen designer?
Is this a part of mach3?

Is there a tutorial on how to do that?
I am new at this "Adding button" stuff, need a little guidance...
