Well actually it's figure out just need more testing for corner cases.

Thank you that will be very nice and much safer.

What is changing about the offset page? I was also asked what the 5x on the offset page is for?

I bet you didn't add the jog increment entry to the INI (TOUCY doesn't use it)

As for jogging - did you remember to click the on screen button 'jog' to enable jogging?

Chris M

You are correct once again. No "INCREMENTS" in the ini file.

This should be why on screen jogging didn't work too.

Mostly the layout. Axes are across the top. systems are the rows. (opposite of before but consistent with other tables).
You can now edit the systems directly rather then just G5x (the current system). The current system is in red.
Also hiding rows or columns actually works properly.
And finally there is a column editable for description. Eg if you of the systems is for the second vice you can name it 'Vice 2' as a reminder.

Chris,

With the onscreen keyboard can it come in below the MDI command box? With it being above my hand covers the line i am typing.

I also dont get the keyboard on the tool edit or offset pages.

Could you also make it so the keyboard button is selectable. It doesnt change i cant tell when the keyboard is shown or not shown. The button doesnt change it only works as a highlight.

The spare button on the side panel can you make that a calulator?

When running a program it would be nice if program edit was avaible when feed hold is selected.

When feed hold is selected cycle start should also be an option to start the cycle back. It was not clear how to start a program feed hold was selected.

Can you add a seperator bar or something on the tool edit page between the diameter and comments section?

When pressing enter on the run at line dialog I think the dialog box should go away.

Is this a LinuxCNC message or program alarm?
