Cimco Edit V7 Problem... What the?

[Mick]

Ok, I just updated to Cimco Edit 7. (Latest version). Now the menu text is all garbled.

 

So, I uninstalled, cleaned the registry, and reinstalled... Same problem. So I uninstalled, cleaned the registry, rebooted, and reinstalled an earlier V7 that worked. The menu text is still garbled.... Has anyone encountered this? And if so, how did you fix it?

 

See the attached image

Could the language have gotten switched somehow? That almost looks like Arabic or Hebrew...

[Watcher]

It seems to be an idiom issue. Go to the settings folder (Cfgs folder) within the install folder and delete or edit the .ini file: the string "language" needs to be changed to "us"

[Mick]

Hmm, I don't have a CFGS folder at all. That is weird

[Mick]

Weird thing is, in the menu text, everything is garbled except for the title "Transmission"

[Watcher]

Weird... It has to be somewhere...

 

Check %appdata% folders... Search for "cimco"

 

I'm not sure if it's stored in local or roaming folders... This is the other location the editor store its settings.

You may also be dealing with a corrupt install.

V7 now uses some new binary XML files for localization (I do the Portuguese version) and I've seen installs get corrupted because of some issue while installing these files.

 

Make sure you found the cfg files and get rid of them. If that doesn't help, you may want to delete cimco folder and reinstall.

[Mick]

I deleted the Cimco folder, cleaned out the registry and reinstalled, and it didn't help.

 

However, I managed to fix it thanks to you and Colin. It was indeed some kind of language setting.I managed to navigate to the language dropdown, and it was set to the first language in the list which I have no idea what it is.

 

I chose US English, restarted it, and it is working

 

Weird though. I have never had that happen before...

 

Thanks for your help!

Spoke too soon... kind of..

 

All the menu text seems ok, but under the File Type dropdown, ISO Mill and ISO Lathe both have the words Lathe and Mill still garbled

this happened to me setting up a brand new computer with the latest version of Cimco V7

After fighting it for an hour I installed the final release of V6, which solved the problem

ISIL propaganda for sure

Just learn a new language! Is that too much?

Mick for starter if you are running windows 7 , install as admin. right click on the instal and say run as Admin for new install.

 

Now lets fix the issue you are having lets lock to just the US English configuration.

 

I want you to go to the Cimco/CimcoEdit7/MSG this were all the languages are.

 

I want you to remove all the files except what I left in the picture. and restart.

[Jayson Kramer]

This is the latest release so you know. If you are maintenance you can load the latest by going to help to get the latest.

Or go to my site and under products select Download trial that is the full install.

Thanks guys. I contacted Cimco and they gave me some help.

 

1) I tried learning Arabic, but I didn't like wearing the headgear.

 

2) Cimco gave me the instructions that you provided above Jay, so thanks, that worked.

 

3) It is a known problem, but the cause isn't currently known.

 

Anyway, everything seems to be back to normal.

Hello all,

 

Sorry to jump in here, but I have the same problem with Cimco Edit V7 (7.55.06)

I only installed the software last week and had the same issue as Mick, following Jays help it is all fixed except for the 'File Type' dropdown, have I missed something?

 

Thanks.

Does anyone uses automatic scanning tool in your NC programs? Who uses this option, it works properly? Does it make sense to edit your post processor to output the comments for automatic scanning?

Easily done and if you use MPMASTER most of the work is done in it. The Predator setup can be changed pretty quickly for the CIMCO and you could even use a trigger to get it wen you want to get the output and when you don't.
