Cimco vs Mastercam editors

[Jody]

I have some programs that I needed to copy and paste then change the g54 to g55 g56.... In mastercam editor it takes 20 seconds to copy the 5 meg file then it took 3 or 4 minutes to paste it.

 

I also like having the editor tell how many places it just replaced "*". the cicmo editor does mastercam doesn't.

 

And since I have spent a lot of time in Cimco this week I have noticed that they took spelling lessons from us at emastercam.

 

 

That is funny. oh that is the 4.32 version

 

I dont copy and paste that often but it would be nice if it was faster.

Right up there with "Teh"

 

I'm assuming y'all mean "The"

 

Maybe the Cimco typo was a freudian slip.

 

hahahahahaha

 

This will probably get moved to the O/T section, sorry.

Steve FYI

 

teh started out as a common misspelling of the, but in pop culture its used as a... way to emphasize. Kinda like the "el" or "la" in spanish.

That is funny. Ususlly spelling errors don't make it into software. It's pretty rare.

Jody,

 

Well spotted

[Anthony CIMCO]

LOL.

 

Years ago when I spotted a spelling mistake I used to rush and fire off an email to development, "Hey, hurry, you spelled this wrong or that wrong." Now, I just laugh. In fact, I think the Find Previous xxxxf+F3 is a classic that should stay. Or, maybe Oxxxxf+F3 is more appropriate.

 

This gave me an idea open to anyone in North America:

 

CIMCO Edit 5 Spelling Contest

The person that finds the most spelling mistakes in Edit 5 in the next week gets a free license of Edit 5 with one year software maintenance - licensed to that person individually (as opposed to a company). Hey, you do the work, you get the prize. Submissions should be emailed to [email protected]. I will post the winner Friday 24 Feb. Note: If more than one person submits the same number of mistakes the person who submits the list first wins the prize.

 

Side Note - even though our Edit 5 Promo from 05 is over, Mastercam X users still get a discount off the retail price. Contact your Mastercam VAR for pricing. (Pricing and Discounts vary from country to country.)

 

From the looks of this post I may need to have a Spelling/Grammar Contest on my posts too.

If you are copying the whole file, and then just making those edits, why not just make the edits, and then do a save as and save it as a new file name. Much faster I believe. I usually open the file and then do a save as, then make the changes and then save again. Keeps me from getting interupted and saving the edited file over the old one. Usually it is as soon as you hit the save you realize it and need Anthony's Oxxxxf+F3 key.

 

HTH

Anthony that is nice of you to want to give it away but Oxxxxf if you dont have V5 to begin with you cant look for spelling mistakes.

 

Glenn I was making a copy then pasting it after the origanal and changing the g54 to a new location to cut five trodes in one program.

 

Thanks
