Setting the default font size in the Code Expert of X7

[cncah]

Is it possible to set the font size in the Mastercam Code Expert in X7 larger as a default?

Every time I post a program and open the window, the font size is super small and I have

to increase the zoom in the bottom right hand corner up to around 180 percent.

I think it is on the laundry list of things to add to it. Might post this in the main forum or the new Mastercam forum.

hold down ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel.

Thanks, the ctrl + mouse wheel trick works great!

Does that set the default size like he was asking?

Yes, at least it should if he's on windows. It's a standard Windows shortcut to change the default font size for almost any given program. You can do it in your web browser, email client, etc. It doesn't change the font size in the program per se, it just changes how Windows shows it; in other words, if Code meter says the font is size seven, and he zooms in until the font is so big only one letter will fit on the screen, Code meter will still say the font is size seven. It will stay that way for the program until he changes it.

That is your best option for X7. In X8 we have reworked the 'Fonts and Colors' pages in Application Options to allow you to define the font, size, color and text styles for NC files, MP Post files and VB Script files:
