i would like a button that i can type in number and machine goto that place on either x y or z or other axis .

i would also like a button to quickly goto work zero on any axis i choose not all three .

You can do it with custom buttons and macros.
Make a button with the screen editor with button number 20000-21999 and then put the code into the macro you want the machine to do.
You can do all things you described even much more complicated things are achivable.
If you do not know how to do the code then my collegue Dezsoe on the forum will help you.

No idea how to code .

I started off knowing absolutely nothing about cnc, gcode, macro programming, etc, etc, etc.

I put the effort into learning and now I can do all sorts with UCCNC. I wanted a custom torch height control so studied electronics, how to make circuit boards, microcontrollers & programming, etc. Eventually I had built my own THC and designed a custom screenset for UCCNC. I wrote a UCCNC plugin that communicated with my THC over a serial cable.

All from knowing next to nothing about any of it.

UCCNC is designed with customisation in mind, and there's already quite a lot of information on this forum and on Cnczone in the UCCNC section.

There's heaps of free PDF books online to learn C / C#.

The information and help is out there is you want to try and learn.

Not interested in customizing it . Just want the software to do the basic things
That cnc machines do .

Guess I need to go back to mach3 ...

Thanks

Mach3 doesn't do any of those things without customizing it?

More people willing to give a solution .

You didn't ask for the macro, just started to blame UCCNC for something that other programs also don't do. OK.

So, you need a field where you can write a coordinate and two buttons: one for go to that coordinate and one for go to zero. Is it good for you to select the axis to move on the jog screen? (Then you don't have to place 6 other buttons.) Also, which screenset do you use?

Sounds good

Use screenset that came with it .

Think they call it default2019
