Hello Norbert,

having a problem with the data entry box for ngcgui.

In start as full screen mode if you click outside the data enty box it is placed behind the screen.
The only way to get it back is to use alt+tab or change to start maximized.



Have a great and Merry Christmas.........

Hi Jim
There is a button on the bottom towards the right hand side that is used to maximize the preview display area. If you press that you will see the whole lot.

If you look at the ngc stuff you will see that there is a header file that is either metric or imperial. You have to setup the ngc to use the correct header file.

Marius,

That is not the problem.

The problem has to do with the popup keypad for editing (pyngcgui_popupkeyboard.ui).
When gmoccapy is in full screen mode if you hit outside the keypad area linux moves the
keypad behind gmoccapy. and you can no longer access it.

Also if you use (pyngcgui.ui) without the popup keyboard the keypad on your keyboard
does not work so you have no way to enter data into the fields. You get an error in the terminal window
that that key has not been implemented yet.

I found that problem a long time ago when I first tested pyngcgui. I was under the impression that it was fixed. The keypad is supposed to keep focus until closed.
I am busy implementing Gmoccapy with pyngcgui on my desktop router. I will test it soon as I want to implement a tool change macro.

Can I suggest that you report your problem on the pyngcgui thread. It might help to get it fixed soon.

I seem to have a problem loading any macro file. It works in the sim config but not in any of my live configs.
I tried it on my new desktop mill as well as the plasma config. The error says
