Screen Builder

[SPEEDRE]

Well what's it all about. I've tried to use it and got nowhere. Also I'm missing buttons on my main screen and can't seem to find them. Missing the machine co-ord's and those next to it. Any ideas guys, HELP.

Your talking about Screen Designer, right? Did you download the latest from Art's website? Did you open the 1024.set file?

What are you trying to do exactly?

Yes I have a licensed version. The 1024,set is incomplete though. I'm missing some buttons and also some function indicators. I don't have a button for machine co ord's or soft limits and no plus or minus arrows in the feed rate area. I don't seem to know how to use the designer and the video tut's don't go into that area. I'd also like to have those cute little triangle plus minus jog buttons too.

If the buttons are really missing,, downloading and installing the latest version should replace the screens. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling it, that should work too. Just back up your .xml file with the settings in it first.


In Screen Designer, are you in Screen #1? Click on the 1 in the bar of numbers across the top. Does that fix it? It sounds like you might be opening the wrong 1024.set file. Do you have Mach2 installed, and maybe your looking at that one?

And the Jog buttons are on screen 50. Just click the "50" button. If you don't have a 50 in the list of numbers, you definately have the wrong 1024.set file.

To use the designer, you click and drag the item you want to add from the floating toolbar onto the screen. Once on the screen, you double click it to change it's properties.

Hi Ger. Downloading the latest version worked. I thought I had the latest when I posted my angst, I was wrong. Thank you I'm all set now.
