    font size on mach3 mill

    Can any one tell me how to change the font size for the scale numbers using XP? I am using the original screen for mill and when you enter a scale of more than 3 digits the first one is cut off in the little window. I tried using the "fonts" in theconfig but nothing changes. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Millwizard,

    See the attached images for font settings.

    You may have to click the "Reset Device Sel" after you change the font to Arial Narrow.

    Then close Mach3 and restart Mach3

    You can't change the font size, only the font itself. The font size in Mach3 doesn't do anything, as font size is controlled by the size of the DRO. If you want the font smaller, you'll have to edit the screen and make the DRO's shorter in height.

    Millwizard,

    Changing the font to "Arial Narrow" works, it displays the four rows of numbers without problems.

    Please view my previous post for more complete information.
