Tool filter staying checked

[Thad]

There was some talk about this a while back and I don't think anyone found an answer. How can I make it so my tool filter box is NOT checked by default? In the toolpath parameters page, if I click Select Library Tool, my library comes up with the filter box checked. It never used to be and I don't know what I did to make it stick.

 

I've tried unchecking it, then immediately saving my config file. I've tried setting the filter to all tools, then saving my config file. No luck.

 

If I have to, I'll have my little buddy RtvReco take care of it for me.

Have you tired going to the default setting for that control definition and going to each operation and un-checking it there and see if it sticks??

Thanks Ron, but that didn't help. In fact, if I go in and uncheck it, close the operation and reopen it, it's checked again.

I believe you need to change it in your operations from toolpath manager.

I switched my default contour to filter the tool, and it stayed after calling up the op.

Then I switched it off again, then called the contour op up again and it was unchecked.

It worked for me.

I tried Rons advice, but it appears that once the Filter is on, it won't go off!

 

I suggest that you contact CNC about this.... In the meantime you could go into your Operation Defaults (via the Control Definition), go into your 2D contour page, press Select Library Tool, press Filter and configure it to show all of the tool instead of a few of them. Not idel but if it's really getting on your nerves then it's worth a go (works for me).

I think it got it set up to filter all tools, which will work, but I ran across something strange in the process.

 

How can I have all tools selected and have filter checked, but the filter says 105 of 172 tools. Shouldn't it say 172 of 172 tools? What's up with those 67 tools?

I compressed the tool libraries. I'll see if that makes any difference.

That only shows up when I'm in a drilling op and try to select a different tool. Milling ops show 172 of 172.
