Drill selection in X3

[peon]

When i manually select my drill points and click "ok" on the selection tab, I must hit ESC twice before the toolpath window opens. Does anyone else have this problem?

Nope, goes right to the toolpath parameter screen

I've seen this, but could not duplicate it during the beta cycle.

I even reported it, but QC couldn't duplicate it.

Yesterday I figured out how to duplicate it.

Draw a bunch of circles..

choose circle mill

use Entities/ window to pick them

you will have to hit escape to bring up the operations manager

g,

 

I just tried it and it worked for me.

 

created a bunch of circles, mill tool paths >> circle mill, entities, used window select, hit the green check, the OP opened, however I did notice the Green Ball was still as if waiting for a confirmation but the creation of the tool path and the selection bar closed.

hit the green check

That's what I didn't do..

I think I didn't have to do that in X2..

Can't check it out though.. I don't have X2 on this box any more

I'll try it at work on Monday

Something is different in X3.. I just haven't figured out what yet.

This sucks, I rebooted and I still have the same grief. I manually select my arcs in the drill toolpath, hit the green check, then I must hit the "esc" key twice before the manager pops up. I never had this problem with X2. Although, I think that was the procedure back in MC9.

I just did the exact same steps in X2 MR2 SP1, it worked identical to X3

I also have the same problem,after selecting the drill points I have to press ESC twice to get the

toolparameter page. Some thing wrong or different.

[gcode]

Have you guys got "disable front buffer"

checked on the Screen page of System/Config..

I have 2 machines..

One ran X3 perfectly the othe gave me all kinds of strange problems.

The only difference I could find between the

2 machines was that switch..

X3 seems to run much better with it off..

V9, X and X2 liked it on

I have "disable front buffer" checked. I have always had that checked since XMR1.

[Rakesh]

In my case by checking the "disable front buffer"

it remove the problem and when I uncheck the "disable front buffer" I get the same problem what matt have. Thanks gcode for your tip.

[Rakesh]

It work in the beginning but have the same problem again. I have to do again ESC twice to get tool page.

[peon]

Ok, finally back to the shop. I narrowed the problem. I only have the "esc" key issue if I manually select geometry AND RIGHT CLICK ON ANY OF THE AUTOCURSOR OVERRIDE SETTINGS. For example: Drill toolpath, manual, right click on arc center, select an arc, click on the green check. Now I must hit esc twice.
