Importing Operations Thru Job Set Up

[robk]

Is there a way of changing the size of the window when importing ops. thru job set-up? The default window is way too small to read any info in it. There is no way to strech the borders, and highliting the text does not show the complete text in it.

mc9rs.dll

 

Take a look this thread Rob.

Rob,

 

One option is to right-click in the Ops Mgr. and "Save to library" with the ops you wish to import. Then import them by "Get from library" in the Ops Mgr. of the new file. Just a thought. HTH

Thanks for the input guys.

 

Peter, that is exactly how I have been doing it, but I find it that It saves me a few steps by not saving to the op. lib. and just grabbing the ops. from the existing file.

 

Jimmy, all that seems to be a little over my head.Just a question though Am I the only one with this problem?

Thats ok Rob, I couldnt get mine to work either.

Rob,

 

"D'Oh!!". (PS Dave. Is there such as thing as a Homer Simpson "D'Oh!!" smiley?) I should've figured you'd be doing that and were just trying to save some clicks.

MC9RS.dll does exactly what it's supposed to do. You'll need to *modify* it if you want a bigger window. Using the app that was mentioned in the linked thread (or similar apps), this can be done. It does make the File-Get dialog box wider though. One of our European forum brothers made these mods, IIRC.

I get the same thing, Rob. It's not that big of a deal for me because I rarely use it. I have an ops library that covers just about everything we do. I don't have a lot of info in the comments like you do. I wish I could be of more help.

Would it be too much of a pain to import all the ops and delete what you don't need?

 

Thad teh just takin' a stab at it

I always bring it all in and then delete what I dont want (when importing ops thru Job Setup). Easier than forgetting to grab someting and having to go back and get it again.

Thanks for the info Thad.

 

I'm not ready to tackle the MC9RS.dll at this point, but I would like to in the future...

I too have a very extensive op. library (640 items and counting). I like having every operation in the same library in alphabetical order to save on clicks and use only one shortcut to get to it.

I'm only trying to make things easier and quicker for myself. I know there is a few different ways to do one thing, and this is one of those things that has been bugging me for some time.

Thanks again guys

Rob, check your email and tell me if you like it.
