GUI for PlasmaC - QtPlasmac

Nicely done!
We have one more GUI developer now!
Regarding the jog Z axis while working, maybe i was not clear about it, the only setting to change the cut height should be THC voltage, so the existing override is OK, but i would like to have it as ALL plasma cnc machines, THC voltage.
And Rod, you are lucky, AutoVolts leaves the torch very close to material on both of my machines, but i do use it to compare torch voltage and on the big machine with the 120A source it helped me cut about 40% faster the 3mm plates i cut mostly. I was way off with manual settings! :blush:

That looks good Pedro, nice layout.

Tommy, you caught me while I was swapping tabs to compare the photo of my layout with Pedro's. I do like his better grouping of controls. I'm not sure why Autovolts for you makes the torch lower, it does not have anything to do with torch height. All I can think of is you are not waiting for the pierce voltage to subside before enabling the THC. But that should see the torch lift...

So I have a question for you guys. Do you ever use the preview in other than Z axis (plan view)?

Surely the perspective view Pedro has used by way of a demo is never used when cutting on a 2D machine.

The reason why I ask is that if you both have full sized rectangular tables but Pedro's preview (and mine) results in a square preview.
It would be possible to add an extra zone between the gremlin preview and the rest of the controls without altering the preview scale on a rectangular table as its just removing unwanted white space.

Tommy, this could possibly be used to move forward the controls you want from the other tab.

I'm not sure how this helps me when I have a square table!

I think its good to see good constructive feedback and ideas from different people. I am a firm believer that you make better decisions (and designs) by involving others. But as always, you, the Boss has the final say!

And it is even better as a picture instead of words, I am much better at understanding pics

I'll have to see how this fits in with the standard 16x9 screen.

It must be the latent designer in you (even if you say you are hopeless at it!)
