Need help with Mach3 Screen designer

[flyboy1015]

I'm currently using the MachBlue screen set, which is very nice. I would like, however, to change the toolpath screen so that it doesn't start at such a "high level." I have to really zoom in to see my tool paths. Any advice on how to change this? I can't seem to find any threads describing this.

You can't change it, afaik. If your display is set to table mode, try clicking the Display Mode button and changing it. Then, when you load your code, it will show both the current tool position and your part. If the tool is over your part, the display will be larger than if you load the code while the tool is far away from the part.

What I don't understand is: when you open the same drawing in the default Mach3 mill screen, you get a view that has the whole toolpath in the toolpath window. It is pretty much sized to fit. In Machblue, however, it is at the 5,000ft level. Seems that you could start with a much closer view.

Do this. Load the standard screen, then load your code. Then WITHOUT jogging the machine, close the g-code file, load Mach Blue screen, and load the same g-code again. It should look exactly the same in both screens.
