Help, just downloaded pcb-gcode for Eagle and got the directory set up ok but I'm running a Windows8.1 PC and the pcb-gcode Setup is totally off scale for my 1260x768 screen. Can't get to most of the settings and I don't see any way to scale down the form to make it wholly visible. I tried clicking and dragging with the arrows and can only change the horizontal scale. Vertical scale is off screen and I can't budge it. Tried that little icon in the upper left corner and picked "size" but it does nothing. Is there a configuration file hidden somewhere for screen size?
 

Happens in Windows 10 too. By hiding the dock I was able to just get to the area that designates whether metric or imperial. Still isn't great though.

Thanks, I was beginning to think I was more stupid than I am. Why wouldn't this obvious issue show up in even the simplest testing before release? I even tried to put my screen into Portrait mode and then I could see the form looking sideways(HA!) but trying to use it is impossible. Seems to me there has to be a simple explanation.

Try putting the cursor in the window, press and hold the ALT key, left click and hold and position the window with the mouse, release both keys and the window should stay in that position.

Oh, and almost forgot; I did solve this with a modified version of PCB-Gcode, here:

I mean here:?
 

Nope, the mouse cannot grab the pcb-gcode Setup window to reposition it, only change the horizontal borders a small amount. Thanks.
 

Well, that did get me to the point where using the Magnifier tool in docked mode I could get the fields to display and I could press the Accept button. Then, I could generate the gcode for my board but it was flagging a Windows error missing javaw module(strange) but the gcode seems to be complete. Thanks
 

Thanks, I will download and try that.
 

Thanks, that didn't fix the screen issues for me but it generated gcode just fine.
