How to change motion acceleration

Usually settings for motion acceleration can be found in “SYS” configuration Tab, “Motion Settings” section

Acceleration defined in cnc-variables.xml configuration file. Item name for Acceleration is

name="motion-acceleration-LISTAXES"

where LISTAXES is list of axes.

It's possible to either setup separate acceleration for each axis -

<value name="motion-acceleration-x" >1000</value>
<value name="motion-acceleration-y" >1000</value>
<value name="motion-acceleration-z" >250</value>
<value name="motion-acceleration-a" >500</value>
<value name="motion-acceleration-b" >300</value>
<value name="motion-acceleration-c" >100</value>

Or setup acceleration for group of axes, for example one acceleration for X and Y axes, next for Z axis and another for all rotary axes (A, B, C) -

<value name="motion-acceleration-xy" >1000</value>
<value name="motion-acceleration-z" >250</value>
<value name="motion-acceleration-abc" >500</value>

Like all other configuration items, acceleration settings can be brought to User interface dialogs. For example in user settings dialog of 1024P profile settings for XY acceleration is

<gitem 
where="user-speeds-xy" 
type="combo-numpad"
fgColor="cyan" format="%d" height="60"
action="item:motion-acceleration-xy".
name="display-motion-acceleration-xy" fontSize="18" bgColor="black".
labelWidth="130" displayWidth="90" fontStyle="bold" orientation="horizontal">
  <message>Acceleration XY, %accel%</message>
  <message_ru>Ускорение XY,%accel%</message_ru>
</gitem>

and the dialog with Acceleration settings -

How to change Interface Language

How to change Screen Size and Position

Open Settings Tab Open CFG Tab

Select Preferences, Screen tab

There are few settings to control GUI screen size, position and window attributes

  • Full screen - switch myCNC main window to full-screen mode (without Window title and borders)
  • Maximize screen - switch myCNC window to Desktop Size but keep windows title and border
  • Fixed screen size - set size in pixels for myCNC main screen window
  • Fixed screen position - move a left-top point of the myCNC main window to the given position
It's supposed this setting should work the same way for all OS and Window Managers like 
Windows 7/8/10, Linux KDE, XFCE or Mate Window manager. Unfortunately, window behaviour 
DO depends on OS/Window Manager. You might need to play with these settings to find a view 
suitable for your needs.

How to check what this button does?

For example, we like to check how parking buttons work.

  • Goto Config – Advanced – UI Settings
    Enable Allow to edit cnc-screen.xml checkbox, Press “Save” button
  • Find the button you need to check and press the right mouse button on it

  • Edit XML config item experimental dialog will be shown
  • Find a line with attribute “action” and check what the button will run if press on it. It will run macro M305 for example shown on the screenshots.

How to check what this DRO shows?

For example, we like to check what shows “Lift Z” DRO on parking widget.

  • Goto Config – Advanced – UI Settings
    Enable Allow to edit cnc-screen.xml checkbox, Press “Save” button
  • Find the DRO you need to check and press the right mouse button on it

  • Edit XML config item experimental dialog will be shown
  • Find a line with attribute “name” and check what value this DRO displays. For example from the screenshot, the DRO displays Global variable #7020 value (which is used as Lift Z value in “Goto Parking Position” macro M305).
