MachScreen 1.56

MachScreen by K. Dietz (c) 2008 is a Windows-based screen set editor for the Mach3 CNC control platform. It enables machine builders, retrofitters, and hobbyists to design, customize, and maintain Mach3 user interfaces without writing code or manually editing configuration files.

Key features include:

• WYSIWYG editing of Mach3 screen sets (.set) with drag-and-drop placement
• Support for common Mach3 controls: buttons, LEDs, DROs, sliders, labels, images, and tabs
• Easy assignment of OEM codes, VB macro calls, and commands to controls
• Multi-page management with copy/paste, duplication, and page-level organization
• Alignment aids such as snap-to-grid, guides, and bulk property edits for consistent layouts
• Import of existing Mach3 screens for modification and export of optimized .set files
• Graphic asset management to help find missing bitmaps and reduce duplicates
• Preview across different resolutions and aspect ratios to verify usability
• Search, replace, and basic validation to catch invalid IDs or references

Typical uses:

• Tailoring operator panels to specific machines and workflows
• Creating streamlined touch-friendly screens
• Localizing labels and prompts
• Refreshing legacy screen sets for modern displays

Notes:

• Designed for Mach3; not intended for Mach4.
• Runs on Windows; Mach3 is required only for runtime testing of finished screens.
