A Widescreen Blender-Style Interface

This is the Torch dilemma. Although I've thrown down some torch controls (which would replace the Milling controls) there are more of them. I because I don't have and use a torch, I don't know which ones are imperative to keep on hand, meaning that they get adjusted daily, and which ones might be moved to the "Tool" menu.

Could someone who has a torch give me a hint on which ones you use the most?

In the meantime, I want to rework (lower-center) location panel to once-again include coordinate systems.

This is an experiment to include the user coordinate controls.

Some people may take issue with this but, I don't like seeing gcode on the user interface, unless they were a macro key for the user.
Also, I am not sure that shouldn't be a progressive chooser because it makes the panel look busy.

Speaking of busy, there should be a Fullscreen icon.

I'm not sure it is necessary to have the work cords on the Run screen. I think the only time I change it is when setting up a part or using MDI, so I guess it would make sense to have them on the on the probe screen. Don't really need it on the MDI tab as its easy to type in. Maybe the best thing would be a to a drop down menu on the Run tab to select/indicate the active work cords ...

Really looking good!

Cheers,

KCJ, I've seen people use the coords for multiple parts, and different fixturing.

What I was thinking is that the lefthand 1/3rd of the screen would be switched for different modes of operation, and then they could go fullscreen from there, if need be, So, the "Run" or "Run Code" is actually showing in the mockup.

So, if you want to use the MDI, to type something in, you click on the tab, and the "Code Runner" panel would be replaced with the MDI. This is why I wanted all of other positioning controls on center an right panels.

[I did want to avoid labels like "MDI" and "G54" because this means little to a new user. From what I've seen, "NativeCAM" looks great, but I wish it had a different name, if it was integrated into the menuing.]

I did not realize only the left side of the screen was going to change based on the Mode, I like that very much! That means that 'muscle memory' will make it very easy to reach the more safety related controls on the right.

* Made still more room for the Mill / Torch / Laser specific controls.
* Changed User Coordinate Sets to Progressive Selector
* Reworked view controls for Clear/Sweep and Fullscreen, (For Touchscreen)
* Continued work on DRO.
* Cordoned off main power controls.

Note: DRO and Run-Code are toggled to display in the left-hand panel.
