XY lines at wcs origin and selected geom line style

[SlaveCam]

Hello.

Using x7 for lathe and finally in the process of migrating to x9. Two questions.

- how do i restore the vertical and horizontal lines at world origin? Why were they removed in the first place?

- how do i change selected geometry line style? The dashing is too sparse.

 

I really hope its not "you cant" for both...

 

Thanks.

F9 or Alt+F9 to get your lines.

 

To change line style, click your line, right click the line attributes down in the right corner and pick the one you wnat, green check.

Thanks a lot! Is the "show coordinate axes" option available somewhere in the options or menjs because i could not find it

 

With selected entity linestyle I didnt mean the actual geometry but the style selected geometry is displayed in the viewport. I am able to change the color from yellow but not the linestyle.

In Settings->Configuration->Screen (I'm pretty sure it's Screen), you can check "Display part information" and your origin marker (F9) will be visible on startup. It's probably available through the top menu too, but without having it in front of me, I couldn't tell you where. Personally, I find them annoying to be visible all the time, so I just F9 when I need them and then F9 them back off.

When selecting geometry, you can change what color your "selected color" is in Settings-Configuration, but you can not change the line style (dashed, etc) of selected geometry. MC has never had this feature (in Mill, anyway), though you could put in an enhancement request.

If you are looking for a toolbar icon for "F9" you can get it in customize/screen, the icon is called screen info. You can drag it to a toolbar or to your right mouse context menu.
