Would I be able to rotate my monitor 90 degrees ? like a portrait orientation then
Fitting the VCP below the main screen instead of been at the right side ?

Please have a look at the attached pic.

Thanks.

That is something that is easier said than done. There is a lot of coding, that is static, that is in place for the layout of the current virtual control panel. I have mentioned it to our software department to see if the orientation of the virtual control panel can be easily changed at some point in the future.
When requesting support, please ALWAYS post a current report. Find out how to take a report from your Acorn, CNC11 or CNC10 system here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecvg0VJp1oQ.

If your question is PLC, Macro or program related, please also post a copy of the program or macro as well.

Without the above information we may not be able to help and/or reply until the required information is posted..

While we are on the subject, is there a setting that would make the CNC12 and VCP ~50 to 100 pixels smaller? Depending on the monitor some of my setups go off the screen edge by 20-25 pixels

$212.84 on amazon is cheaper but your post got me looking on ebay and i sent an offer to a seller and got a new in open box 2nd pct2235 coming from a seller for $170 shipped. So thank you indirectly. Never hurts to send an offer.

I have this issue with the Wizard on the ASUS 15.6" VT168-H, I have to scroll down a bit. I have used several Touchscreens and no real problem with the CNC12 screens.

PURDY, but don't dismiss the ASUS VT207N 19.5" and less than $200, sometimes refurbs can be found for much less.

That would be great if in future upgrade releases we can have this option , like when you dock or / and drag a windows on screen, then once set you can save the changes and always boot the software up on screen.

This would save a lot of space if you are installing the monitor on a side panel, basically for small machines. :D :lol: :lol: :lol:
