Re: Bottom of Virtual Control Panel Missing

ShawnM, The bugs I was referring to were the unknown bugs in 4.80. All software has bugs. I only ran into one - the display would sometimes randomly jump from WCS #1 to MACH. Using G54 would not move me back. I'm surprised that those reports didn't show screw comp active. I've been using it for year...

Re: Bottom of Virtual Control Panel Missing

I am guessing that the zero values for screw comp are part of the problem with using an old report. That data looked ok when viewed from inside the program. For my needs, I think it best for me to return to my old version of CNC12. I am happy with it. I wasn't running into any bugs that might be fix...

Re: Bottom of Virtual Control Panel Missing

It's all in the "5.0 installation and update guide" on the Acorn Documents page."
I see where it says to manually enter data from the screenshots but was expecting to move files around. Did I miss it?

Thanks,
Rick

Re: Bottom of Virtual Control Panel Missing

At the bottom of the acorn_mill_vcp_skin.vcp that gets installed with a fresh v5.0x CNC12 installation, before you replaced it with your old one. In v5.04 those lines included: <button row="12" column="1" column_span="3" row_span="3">reset</button> <button ro...

Re: Bottom of Virtual Control Panel Missing

I did do a restore report from an older version of CNC12. I needed to do this to preserve my screw comp data, revs/inch, and backlash. I likely do not have the latest .NET framework but will soon. Thanks, Rick You cannot restore a report from one version to a different version. This is stated in th...

Re: Bottom of Virtual Control Panel Missing

You most likely copied over your vcp skin file from your old version, as none of the new entries needed for the lower part of the vcp are in your file. Start with the default acorn_mill_vcp_skin.vcp file and add/edit your changes to that. Where do I find the lines I need to add to acorn_mill_vcp_sk...

1600 x 900 is the best the monitor will do.

Re: Bottom of Virtual Control Panel Missing

The switch is --adjustfortaskbar and is here in the forum somewhere. I think you could find it with a quick search. Did you monkey around with your vcp skin files or try to "restore report" from a different version of CNC12? Do you have the latest .NET framework updates from Microsoft? I ...
