Hey Darren,

 

Yes it is Sunday, but I'm not at work. I just thought about it and wanted to ask the experts (Ya'll on the board). I use a lot of pins for repositioning parts and would like to put them somewhere besides undefined tool???

You can add or remove key from configure panel but it you want design your own icon make a bmp of 32x32 pixel and name it the command u want to attach.

He does'nt want to change his toolbar keys..

When you define a tool you get a page with all the define tools shown on it. Is there a way to add a new picture to this, instaed of just selecting undefined.

[Teh Bear without Brains kinda idiot]

yes ,put an icon with a name of your C-hook or command in commonicons folder and here you go

 

must be BMP 32*32 pixels

HTH

[connormac]

Thanks

cADIST, that`s a little thing and happens to me a lot,thaT`S IS YOUR TURN NOW LOL !

I even has not read your post when answered :sorry:

[cadist]

It's OK.

Dumb question...O/T ???

When I change the pixels of my BMP to 32*32, the image is no longer visible. What am I doing wrong?

In paintbrush under image menu there's an option called attribute. first click on it and set it to 32x32 then create the image.

I must have had too many jack-n-cokes last night.

Paint-Image-Attributes-32*32-then what?

NuNu teh brainfart.

[cadist]

Paint-»Image-»Attributes-»32X32

Then make your image. If required use zoom tool available in main toolbar.(It has icon of a megnifying lens.) Then click on your work area. Start painting using tools. save the image in

Mcam9/common/icon folder with a name that signifies it's command. for example give it the name "delete.bmp" for using it as delete tool.

How do I change the name in the main menu toolbar? i.e. *Toolpaths *Contour. How do I change the name *Contour to *Bob? Is it possible?

Can this be done to an existing BMP? I don't want to create a BMP , just change the pixels of an existing one. Is this possible? Maybe I'm just not understanding how to do it. Sorry if this a bit O/T .

[Fig sign]

Open existing BMP in paintbrush and do Ur changes .

but backup it before that just for ....

Yes ,it is posssible ,but using C-hook or Vbscript with the name Toolpath-Bob.dll or

Toolpath-Bob.vbs .

Would not recommend

I dont think it is possible to do what you want.

I have had a good look, but can't find anything..

I would also like to be able to edit these pictures.

edit your icons in Paintbrush, Pip .

Or coreldRAW OR ANYTHING ELSE and save them

Icons are in commonicons folder

If you adding to the toolbar c-hook pip.dll put in the icons folder pip.bmp and you`ll see it .

BTW ,bmp can be of any size ,only result will be the same 32*32 pixels

Once I put BMP of 2 mgb ,Mc9 loads it as it is !

Winnie, we dont want to change our toolbar, we want to change the tool definitions icons..

[cadist]

Pip if there are few images . Send it to me I will make it to require size.

 

Before mailing convert them to *.jpg (got dialup)

[pip]

This is what we are on about

 

sorry about size of image

[Bocho]

I think if you go to mc9Millpostssetup you will find the GIFs in question. I suppose you can alter their appearance, but I wouldn't know how to add/delete a new button.

[Bocho]

I was wrong these aren't the ones that are used by the define tool. Sorry!
