Mcam X Editor settings

[romer]

Is it just me, or is there no way to save custom settings in the editor (fonts, colors, numbering etc.)?

 

I searched and found some topics on bugs in the editor but nothing mentioned this.

 

Though I get a settings saved confirmation nothing is saved for the next use.

 

I thought that it might be fixed in SP1 but after installing, now the X icon that would take you to the windows properties box is gone from the options dialog box!

 

PD Guy?

 

Thanks,

romer,

 

You can change fonts using the windows properties dialog.

 

1. Open the editor

2. Open a file

3. Right click on the file to display a popup menu

4. Select Properties

5. A Windows Properties dialog appears

6. Select Color/Font tab

7. Select MastercamVBS-Text node in the tree

8. Change the font type and apply it

9. Done

 

You can set many different properties based on file type.

Mick,

 

Thank you for the reply, but perhaps you misunderstood me. I know how to change it. I want to SAVE it for the next and all other sessions.

 

In SP0 there was an X icon on the Editor tab of the window box that pops up when you chose Options (F2), It would take you to the same window you are reffering to. It is now gone in SP1.

 

In Cimco, the user defines preferences that are saved for all future sessions. That is what I am aiming for.

 

If this is not a current feature of the editor, then I am mistaken, (though it does tell you your options are being saved) perhaps you could consider it for future releases.

 

Thanks,

Romer

Seems like some will stay set, some won't like the setting for the line numbers. This (line numbers) is a reported bug and they're working on that one.

 

If you like using Cimco, then just use that. I have X posting to a Cimco editor and still using that.
