Make custom button and set toggle

Postby DKMaker » Fri Apr 07, 2023 7:50 pm

Hi i want to have a Custom button for a relay and i use a button with button number 20011 that works fine - but i want the green thing to light on as a toggle button - how do i emulate that?

Same as on Spindle CW / mist etc.. Can i somehow set the state for a "macro" button or what is the correct workarround to emulate this behavior.

And how do i select an item if lets say the item is under another object? I placed a label on a LED but i could not select it afterwards - so i had to move one of them to select it again, is there a hotkey to cycle between elements?

Set toggletype to true and use double images. The left half is for the off, the right is for the on state. In your macro use AS3.Switchbutton(true/false, buttonnomber); to turn the button on/off.

At the moment you can only select the topmost control.

The way we used to do this with Mach3 is to place the LED first, then place a transparent button over the LED.
But you don't need to do this in UCCNC, because you have Toggle Buttons, as explained above.
