Dual Monitors & Toolbars

[cadcam]

if you run daul monitor setup using Dualview you can put you tool bars on the other screen and when you stat X they will be on the other screen.

 

Now you can have even more space.

 

Just a tip

[JS]

Will you also be able to keep the operations manager overthere.

 

Thanks Joe

[cadcam]

No you can not move that at this time.

Sorry

So Cadcam, are you hinting that you will be able to do so in the future? A dockable operations manager would be a nice enhancement.

[tooljockey]

It might free up some space but that seems like alot of real estate to cover with your pointer.

 

I also heard the ops manager will be "dockable"

in sp1 or 2.

[L Hanft]

Just put the ops manager on the mouse right button and get it out of the way except when you need to see it.

Hey thx for the tip Jay, do you have any settings for dualview to open on both monitors?

[TyK]

I use Ultra-Mon with two monitors. Works like a hot dam. It alows monitor switching, stretching and yada yada. MC9 didn't like to stretch but X does it just fine.

"alot of real estate to cover with your pointer."

 

use mouse ballistics?

[cadcam]

Do you want it say like this.Daul View set in my Nvida Quadro. the Reg Nvidia cards do this to.

One tool bar and then extra desk top that can have sep desktop pictures.

[cadcam]

Italian' stylin' is this what you wanted to do?

[HevyMetl]

Cool. I hope mine get set up in the next couple of weeks. One of our designers just got a 24" lcd. I got some major monitor envy so I asked for Dual 20's. I thought big chance in Hell of that happening and the purchase req's went through today. I guess you never know what'll happen. One thing is for sure, if you don't ask then it won't.

[cadcam]

Dame John you didnt tell me that. Now I have Envy I want dual 20" mon's

[Zbuilder]

How can I get Mastercam to boot up on the 2nd monitor? I'm tired of dragging it over ever time I start it.

[crazy^millman]

You can't sorry.

[Zbuilder]

Nothing in the registry for screen position?

[Mark H]

Yes you can, depending on your video card and its software. I have an Nvidia card with Nvidia's drivers and software (I dumped Dell's drivers)

 

If you have Nvidia Quadro FX...

In windows display options, go to Settings, Advanced... Quadro FX1400(tab), Desktop managment, applications...

 

Then add the Program and Individual Settings.

[bogusmill]

I have MCX2 open on one screen and Catia open on the other. In the Nvidia settings you can have any app open where you closed it last. You can also add a button to the title bar that goes next to the minimize button that will move window to the other display or maximize across both screens.

[Zbuilder]

Ok I found it. Still can't get it to remember the posotion so the next time it opens where it was left off.

[machtek]

What is this "dual view" of which you speek? Also I have found that sometimes with multiple mcam sessions one will use one core and one will use the another. Are there any plans to multithread mcam in the near future?

CadCam, I think your system is broke! Everytime I try to select the assembly on your left screen so I can zoom in it doesn't select. I have also tried to change XM stations on your right one and it's broke also. I got tired of Big Tracks and couldn't change it. WTF

If you use dual view like I do using the Quodro cards and the latest drivers. to get the mastercam to luanch on the other screen is really easy. put the mastercam Icon on the screen you want it to start on and it will start there does this on both my setups.

[cadcam]

Here is my dauls 24"s at the office and the dual 22" at the home office.

You can move the operation manager to any other monitor and it will stay there, even when you reopen MC. Just drag it by the top. Where ever the MC shortcut is, MC will open there, even on three 20" monitors. MR2 Rocks!

 

Move Level Manager and leave it open while you work, change levels ext. You can move backplot window, but it will go back to it's original pos. next time it starts.

 

Dan.
