Select All Operations or Select Dirty causes screen to hide entities

[Snaglpuss]

If I click on select all operations or the select dirty operations in the toolpath tree it causes geometry that is not with toolpaths to disappear.

I figured out if you go to hide/unhide it will reappear, but doing a select all operations makes it disappear again. Can't figure out what I did to get this to happen.

Does it on all drawings, new or old stuff, or even someone else's drawing. So I am guessing something got clicked on today?????

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Could be the show associated geometry

I think you have this switch enabled

Display Associative Geometry

AHarrison & Gcode beat me to the answer. Your Ops have gone dirty, likely do to geometry being deleted, so when you select "Any of the Ops", Mastercam simply hides all existing geometry, because of that switch being enabled.

Thanks all.

I think that's what it is.

Never used that before.

If I kept tearing my hair out I wouldn't have much left.

Again, big Thank You to all.

That is a very useful button, especially when you are working on an old file and don't know which geometry goes to which toolpath

Just turn on all levels , set that switch and pick a toolpath ..everything but the driving geometry will disappear

sadly, this switch does not work on solid chains or solid surfaces

Sounds like it could be a good enhancement. Maybe along the lines of if a solid surface / face is picked a copy of that surface is saved to some or other level specifically for use with that button.

Thanks, gcode. I learned something new today.

I can see how this would be great for things with lots of stuff going on.
