You have to convert the text to outlines.

Did "Goto Machine XY0" stop working for anyone else after upgrading 12.5? Just curious as mine stopped working (and its the only macro that did).

Hey, those look like my buttons. :D I created many of the buttons on your VCP. At least the ones will all the same size fonts and the outlines. The stock buttons drove me crazy so I edited every one on my VCP.

Looks great.

I've never heard of version 12.5 ???

Hey Shawn. Its been a few months now but I remember seeing your custom VCP and thinking to myself now those are some pretty clean graphics. Now that I finally got around to editing mine, I just couldnt remember whose design I jacked... But Im glad you noticed 😃... It really does have great graphics. As far as 12.5, I meant the latest release (was to lazy to go back upstair and check but I knew it had a 5 in it).

As stated here...https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic. ... 418#p78418

You'll need to edit the .xml for that button to use event #25

Users with custom VCP buttons that previously Modified Aux 13 and Aux14 will need to edit the button XML and update the skin number being used.
SKIN_EVENT_66 and SKIN_EVENT_67 are for VacOn and LimitDefeat.
Aux 13 and Aux14 are SKIN_EVENT_24 and 25.
User that have previously used SKIN_EVENT_66, should make it 24 and if they used 67 they should now use 25 going forward in V5.06.
