Status Bar
The Status Bar provides contextual information related to the active tool or process being performed. Check the Status Bar for related information, instructions on the next steps, or options available.
LightBurn Video
This video features our sister software, LightBurn. While there may be slight differences in appearance and layout, the demonstrated processes are similar in MillMage.
Locating the Status Bar¶
The Status Bar is located in the bottom left-hand portion of the MillMage window directly to the right of the Transform Control Toggles, and shows: - The precise location of the mouse cursor/pointer. - The dimensions and status of selected items. - The Notification Area where important tool, program, and device messages are displayed.
Cursor Coordinates¶
View the live and precise X and Y Axis coordinates of the mouse cursor within and around the MillMage Workspace on the left side of the Status Bar. The displayed coordinates will stop updating when the mouse cursor leaves the area around the Workspace — for example when choosing tools, working within windows and toolbars, or interacting with menus.
Tool Status¶
The Tool Status section to the right of Cursor Coordinates displays information on the currently selected object(s) or tool.
Example Tool Statuses¶
Selection Tool¶
Message: Min (34.5x, 43.5y) to Max (67.5x, 70.5y) 2 objects
Meaning: The rectangular selection bounding box has the corner closest to the origin at (34.5, 43.5) and the corner the farthest away from the origin at (67.5, 70.5), with two objects included and selected.
Draw Lines Tool¶
Message: x: 258.00, y: 66.00 (dx: 239.00, dy: 32.00, len: 241.13)
Meaning: Current cursor coordinates (difference in travel from the start of the line in the X and Y Axis, length of line)
Note
The Cursor Coordinates are always displayed to the left of Tool Status, and are displayed twice with this tool.
Notification Area¶
The Notification Area on to the right-hand side of the Status Bar displays tool-specific messages, in addition to important information from the program. The exact message that's displayed will change depending on the tool you're currently using, or the last action you took.
