Your workspace ​

The Dashboard adapts to your screen. You can change the overall scale, the screen layout, the panes in the center and the text sizes.

Panes ​

The center of the Dashboard is split into panes, and each pane can show one of:

  • Visualize – the 3D toolpath viewer
  • Edit – the G-code editor
  • Macros – the macro editor
  • Probe – probing tools
  • Console – the controller console

Each pane has its own row of tabs to choose what it shows, and two buttons at its right end to split it top-and-bottom or side-by-side. Drag the dividers to resize.

Three panes in the center of the Dashboard: the toolpath viewer on the left, the console at the top right and the G-code editor at the bottom right.
Three panes: the toolpath on the left, with the console and the G-code editor stacked on the right.

Put a large editor next to the toolpath when you're working on the code, or give the toolpath most of the room when you're setting up a job.

In the Visualize view you can switch between top, left, right, bottom and 3D views. The Panes button in the top bar saves and restores your pane arrangements. See Saved layouts & backup.

Screen layout ​

Open the Layout button in the top bar. Screen layout offers:

OptionWhat it does
AutoAdapts to the available width.
DesktopThree columns.
TabletControls plus a workspace. Macros and overrides move to the Machine tab.
TabbedOne panel at a time, for narrow screens.
The Dashboard layout dialog with a screen layout menu, saved layouts, compact controls switch and column width sliders.
The Layout dialog.

The same dialog has a Compact controls and spacing switch (comfortable spacing is better for touch), sliders for the left and right column widths, and a page zoom readout. See On any screen for how these look on a tablet and a phone.

Zoom and text size ​

  • Page zoom runs from 70% to 150%. Use the zoom buttons in the header, or reset it from the Layout dialog.
  • Editor and console text sizes are independent of page zoom and of each other. Use the size controls in each panel.
  • Fullscreen is a button in the header.
