Thank you so much! I will certainly give it a try. I have been monitoring your github page for quite a while in anticipation of your great work, so this is big news!

As for Clear Linux, I believe they finally got it working on their distro, but made it part their maker-cnc bundle, which includes programs like inkscape and OpenSCAD, which are great apps but should not run on a machine controller. They do not seem to fully understand the LinuxCNC ecosystem, so I have already lowered my expectation (or should I say hopes?).
 

Be aware that my image does not work with axis for some reason due to this bug:

github.com/linuxcnc/linuxcnc/issues/3205

I recommend FlexGUI or gmoccapy until qtpyvcp switches over to pyside6. All GUIs that depend on Qt5 such as QtDragon do not work as Gentoo is dropping support for Qt5. There's been progress with qtpyvcp and pyside6 but is not stable yet.

If you use a run-in-place environment instead of using the gentoo package, axis does in fact work.

Hi cmorley,

I am designing the QT interface from scratch but it will take some time to be able to use my machine in the meantime i wanted to load this vertical qtdragon_hd ui but it didnt work linuxcnc gives an error and close,

i have this folder ../linuxcnc/config/sim.qtdragon_hd.qtdragon_hd_xyz/qtvcp

i made a copy of qtdragon_hd with qtvcp copy command to this folder, so its like this now:

../linuxcnc/config/sim.qtdragon_hd.qtdragon_hd_xyz/qtvcp/screens/qtdragon_hd/

and there is the .ui file etc in there,

i copied the original one to somewhere else and put the vertical ui file there and changed the name to qtdragon_hd.ui

so when i select qtdragon_hd_xyz or _xyza during linuxcnc launch under my configurations it should load the vertical ui right? am i wrong?
