attempt with traditional AXIS works fine
[DISPLAY]
EMBED_TAB_NAME
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND=halcmd loadusr qtvcp –push_xid cam_align

it would be nice if a better prepared variant could be included in the release or if practical instructions for individual configuration could be documented

can I do something about it

try this:

EMBED_TAB_NAME= qtscreen
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND= halcmd loadusr -Wn qtvcp_embed qtvcp -d -c qtvcp_embed -x {XID} cam_align

thank you Chris, this works fine to embed it correct to the tab, and how can the size of the circle be adjusted, make it more and less large? Peter

I use a laptop to test - I hope a mouse will be the same.
button1 + scroll = zoom
button 2 + scroll = rotate cross
button 3 + scroll ( or button 1+2 + scroll) = circle diameter.

If you want the set origin and go to origin buttons to work you must add MDI monnads to the INI
something like this:

[MDI_COMMAND_LIST]
MDI_COMMAND = G10 L20 P0 X0Y0
MDI_COMMAND = G0x0y0z0

Chris, this is high tech, absolutely perfectly finished, thank you for all that great work!
