    setting default screen

    Hi,

    I've just used machscreen to set up auto zeroing via limit switches on my machine.

    In order to use this screen, I have to go to View>Load Screens .
    How can I just set this screen to appear every time when i start up mach3?

    If you made a screen that just does the autozeroing (sounds like it), then you have to laod it to use it.

    You should have added another page to your existing screen, with a button to display it.

    What I did was take the default screen and add code to three of the existing buttons on it, then saved it under a new name.

    The default was called 1024.set, and i called mine 1025.set

    Once you load 1025.set, it should load every time until you load a different one. Whatever screen is currently loaded should load again when you close and restart Mach3.
