X crash extreem

[Cuda84]

This just started today. When I go to file open and select file type, it's gone. If you blink you missed it.

 

Anyone else ever seen anything like this?

 

I.T. seems to think it might have something to do with Windoes update that ran on Saturday.

 

Any ideas?

I just ran every available windows update, and it still works fine here. The only thing I can think that it may be is someone may have updated your video drivers. Try rolling them back.

David,

If you don't try to select in the "Files of type" list, can you open a MCX file?

[Cuda84]

Yes I can open any MCX file I want.

 

Also I am currently running MR2, but I have MR1 in a seperate install (side by side). It happen in MR1 also.

 

My I.T. guy got it working, not correct but works. When I select a file type my file extension dose not update automaticly. Dose not redirect to appropriate directery either.

To get to appropiate directory, click on the far right icon (white box with 2 blue checks) in your file open window and see what box is checked.

[Cuda84]

Actually whatever I.T. did defaulted me to a standard Windowes file open dialog. In MR2 the box mentioned dose not exist. In MR1 I can see it but I still have crashes.

I believe you can go to Control Panel, X utility and select whether you want Mcam style dialogs or Windows classic dialogs.

In the Contol Panel there is a Mastercam X field.

You can control the appearance and properties of the File Open Dialog box with it.

I think you have yours set to "Windows Standard"

Try changing it to "Mastercam X"

 

The file extension problem when you "Save as"

something other than MCX is a pain. Its a bug and its fixed in X2

[Cuda84]

Well that is what I.T. did to fix the problem. If I switch back to MasterCam X from Windowes standard I get crashes again.

 

I know about the file extension problem with save some. But when you pick file open>> type .IGS>> it would default to the appropriate file extension, not now.
