Two windows of X

[jrauch]

Anyone else having problems while running two windows of x at the same time??? Havent found a pattern yet, but I have had it "dirty" my file while working on another. Also for those using the x+ setup sheet I have seen it apply the wrong screen shot while making the setup sheet if you also having more than one session of X running. Havent found what makes it do it though???

We routinely run 3-5 sessions of MC on any seat at any given time. Things get a little slow at times, but no issues with dirty operations.

I have noticed if only using mc paths it seems to be ok, but when "crunching" 3-d paths with our add on cimco software it will get stupid from time to time

 

Thanks Thad

Looks like it (cimco ) may use same temporal files

I have noticed that if you make a config change, the changes won't take effect when you open new sessions until you close all sessions first.

I just unchecked "fit" (in the translate dialog box) in my config and a new session of MC abides by it. I had 2 other sessions of MC open the entire time.

I've had the "dirty" operations thing. I'm guessing it's because I haven't bothered giving my programs an NC filename untill I post them, so they're all "C:Program Files (x86)mcamxMILLNCMachine_Group_1.TXT". I figure this makes them all use the same NCI filename, so any temp files would get confused.

Actually I added some toolbar icons but I'm beginning to think my computer is starting to bug out on me. I now can only open .mcx files. If I try to open anything else I get the dreaded application error message as soon as I highlight any other extension choice and my post just started outputting "R" instead of "I" & "J" for some reason.
