Hi all,

I am a windows user and very new in Linux environment, because of the limitations i am switching from Mach4 to Linuxcnc.

- Os: Debian 12 bookworm and linuxcnc came together with it
- manage to install QT 5.15.8 designer
- also linuxcnc widgets installed in QT designer

I prefer to use vertical screen so at first i wanted to try to design a new ui from scratch, i will also try to modify an existing 4 axis horizontal ui to vertical by just moving the widgets around(not deleting or adding anything) but first;

i am following this guide linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/qtvcp...._sheet_custom_screen

put some buttons, gcode view, graphics view etc. but stuck with the line where it says "save the .ui file", it says to save it as tester.ui in sims/qtvcp folder. it doesnt say where that folder is or how to load the ui in linuxcnc.

this is most probably a very simple question but can any of u guys tell me where that folder is and how to open tester.ui gui in linuxcnc and test it as sim ui?

I am getting used to all linux environment and that "sudo" thing so please say it as simple as possible like u are teaching to a windows user

Thanks in advance..
