The tedious part of building a screenset.

After probably 50+ hours, and several complete page re-do's, some progress is being made.

So far I've turned 10 pages into 5.
Lots more to go, though.

Good work Gerry. I can imagine how much time you've put into this...(having spent hours making changes which look "messy" by comparison)

The ability to "multi select" objects to move, cut and paste along with some "align and distribute" tools would make things much easier when adding buttons, fields, LEDs etc. to the background.

That's a great clean look and I think reducing the number of pages overall is definitely the way to go.

After about a month of work, I finally got a full page of the screenset running.
Ignore the Left edge... It's what's left of the stock Jog page.

Nice work. I also like the 16:9 format. Isn't it possible to add A also to that page? That would be the complete setup for most people regarding the axes. Anyway, it is very nice to have all the three main axis on one page also. Excellent work, hopefully you'll manage to sell enough to finance the time you invested in this.

Hello Gerry,

your Screenset looks great. I am looking for a tutorial to make my own set but I didn't found ones.
I tried to use the Screeneditor, but he is only working on one Page.

It is possible to get your screenset?

Regards
Mike

You can change TAB pages while in the screen editor mode with keep pressing the Shift keyboard key and click on the TAB page you want to navigate.

It won't be ready for quite a while yet.
