Dave,

I believe they are referring to Version 9's Unzoom to previous view function. This is the one function I miss the most. We program large parts and even though I love the mouse wheel zoom, it just is not the same.

[smokey_44]

my v9 and X are the same F2= unzoom ????

 

 

dave

[RandyN]

No, its not the same. F2 in v9 was zoom to previous view, so you could zoom into an area, then zoom tighter for a pick, etc, and F2 to the previous zoom, not just zoom out.

[smokey_44]

from default install they are the same xxxx thing from 9 to x , ya you can set it to what you want but from install there the same fuction.

 

"unzoom" , not previous view

I'm not trying to argue with you, but doesn't it make sense that with a page full of MC experts saying they miss the old way, that something must be different?

[Jaz]

Exactly, is now "unzoom" (x .8), not previus view. Was previus zoom and alt-F2 was zoom out (x .8). If old 'return to previus zoom' function is still around somewhere, we could just remap.

[smokey_44]

so what they really should have said is that they miss the remap fuction for ****en F2 key right .....

 

 

if you read what I said (from install) standard mastercam with no editing of buttons ....its the same xxxx fuction ....

 

 

dave

[RandyN]

No it isnt

[jctjct]

Wrong.

[smokey_44]

F2.......Unzoom - v9 doc

 

F2,ALT F2..... UNZOOM BY 50% x doc

 

 

Thats the documention that came with mastercam lool it up .

[jctjct]

Open a V9 file. Fit to screen. Zoom in on something using F1 key. Take a look at your screen. Zoom in further with F1 key. Hit F2 - it goes back exactly to the previous view. Do the same in X. It will unzoom slightly by hitting the F2 key, not to the previos view. If you can't see or understand this I would have to question how much you have used either version.

[Jaz]

jctjct - A+

[RandyN]

Its really hard to be civil to someone that is cursing and throwing a fit because they dont understand. We are not talking about changes we have made to our F2 function, its basic functionality, and you cant change it to act like this in X, and it worked this way "out of the box" as you say in V9.

 

Try to control your rage a moment, and try it yourself and see, if you can't then please don't come back cursing about it again, because you aren't helping anyone with your attitude.

I have yet to find it Jaz.

[htm01]

look in System Config, toolbar/keys

(F2)is assigned to SCREEN-UNZOOM funtion

but it funtions as back to last and works for as many times as you F1 in

[Steve Zirtzman]

Some one from Cnc Software please put a stop to this madness!

[smokey_44]

thank you thats what i've been trying to say,after testing like all of you said you are correct, BUT if you look in the docs you will see that it DOES NOT say this ....Alt F2 was supposed to be previous view ...I'm sorry for freaking out (going thru some ruff things right now at home with my kid) ,just look at the the docs and you will see that I'm right on that end of things but I do agree with you nopw that it fuctions the way you guys say it does, not like the manuals say. I guess I never payed that much attetion to what it was actually doing , i was just using the command
