Unforch, it appears that, and I am reading between the lines here, probably wrongly, that the enuming halui does with all those mdi command in the main .ini file, are totally scrambled. I moved all the help files out to storage in a separated directory, then recorded this in an editor as I clicked on the buttons: First, this is my tool.tbl file, in the $config directory T1 P1 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.126 ;1/8 drill T2 P2 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.135 ;5/32 drill T3 P3 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.038 ;0.040 drill T4 P4 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.041 ;0.045 drill T5 P5 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.052 ;0.052 pcb component lead clearance drill T6 P6 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.0514 ;placeholder pcb bigger component clearance drill T7 P7 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.001 ;interconnect pattern etch T8 P8 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.625 ;reference hole drill T9 P9 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.04 ;a #58 drill T10 P10 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.0625 ;a .0625 2 fl end mill T11 P11 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.0312 ;added 20130917 T12 P12 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.0015 ;Added 20130918 T99 P99 x-0.1 Y-0.05 Z0 D0.0001;test of camview-emc, added 20131128 The latter to give a small motion I could see, but not far enough to hurt anything since I left the motor power on, but I am ssh -Y to the machine for all this. The ngc files for this have been moved to /home/gene/linuxcnc/cam.stf And the main .ini file now has this SUBROUTINE_PATH = /home/gene/linuxcnc/cam.stf/:/home/gene/linuxcnc/nc_files Which the first path apparently is still not in the search path. So they are effectively hidden to our processes. Actions, or lack thereof: Checking checkbox for G43H99 gives Unable to open <_camstore>, and no motion Unchecking it gives Unable to open <_camcenter3>, and no motion Clicking on "Save XYZ" gives Unable to open <_camcenter4> Clicking on Center3 returns no error msg Clicking on Center4 returns no error msg clicking on Align start returns no msg Clicking on Align Y returns no msg Clicking on Align X returns no msg Clicking on Clear offset returns no msg So obviously the SUBROUTINE_PATH isn't working, and the MDI enumeration is screwed. The lack of decent docs other than trying to read the code, and some of the GTK stuff may as well be swahli to me, so I am not able to establish what file actually belongs to what button. Any help in this regard would be much appreciated. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
