Level dialogue box

[mikeb]

my level dialogue box doesnt appear anymore. alt-3 or clicking "level:" doesnt work. system is waiting for input as if the dialogue box is open, but i dont see it. have to hit esc. am i missing something here or any idea why that would happen? never happened to me before.

Do you have a dual monitor setup?

[Lumpnut]

Never happened here either. Did you re-install Mcam?

there is a way to make the levels dialog prompt for entry at the bottom of the screen but I can't remember how.

 

oh yeah, check in system config on the screen tab that you don't have "enter level in prompt area checked"

Screen/Configure. Go to screen Tab and uncheck "Enter Level In Prompt Area".

what video card r u running for dual monitors?

I had some issues with my settings when we first got setup for dual monitors, took me a day of playin' with them to figure it out.

 

When you click on your levels manager button on the side do you notice if it opens a prompt at the bottom of the screen?

If you not have ‘Enter level in prompt area’ checked on the Screen page in System Configuration and you do not see the level dialog, try this...

 

In Windows, do Start -> Programs, navigate into the Mastercam program group and run CNC Reg.

The CNC RegEdit utility should now be running....

Under the ‘Installed Products’ dropdown select the product/version you are running.

Then further down on the CNC RegEdit dialog under ‘Dialog positions’ select ‘Levels Dialog’ and click the Reset button, then Apply and OK to exit this utility.

 

Does the Level dialog appear now?

not running dual monitors at the moment. and as far as i know, all the settings go back to single when one of the monitors are unplugged. at least, they have every other time i unplug one of them. i even double checked that today to make sure since it acted like the box opened on the other monitor. its a quadro fx-1100 btw.

 

and if there was a prompt at the bottom, that would mean i have "Enter Level In Prompt Area" checked.

worked like a charm roger

 

thank you
