Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Bridgeport CNC Mill???

Jon ... this was very, very helpful !

If I understand you, a similar situation exists for all/most existing
graphical controls, and the existing scripts can be used as samples ?

This changes my perception, if a simple XML layout can actually run the
front-end.
Making xml layouts is relatively easy, and using existing snippets of
code to create subpanels seems reasonable.

I am much obliged.
