The F5 spindle button on the main screen is supposed to start the spindle in clockwise rotation. But I have a spindle with rpm control PWM. and clockwise is looking staight on the spindle motor from the bit side so it's actually counter clockwise when the F5 is used. I have to use th F4 spindle comand to get it to rotate properly and thats no problem. But I would like to manually run the spindle outside of the program. How can I add and F4 to the main screen?
Thanks

You need to open the screenset in a screen editor and change it.
There are two screen editors available, and video tutorials on using them at ArtSoft USA - Home of Mach3 and LazyCam

The small box or vbs editor I have found from a drop down menu but where on earth is the screen editor that is used on the tutorial? The teacher does not open this editor in the tutorial but allready has it opened at the start.

I think the video explains this, but I think there's a Default menu where you point to the Mach3 install folder.
