X3 - Toolbar states

[ToolMan184]

Any one notice the toolbar states doesnt stick? If you fo to customize and set the default then go to the screen and change the state, then close MC and reopen it loads the last toolbar state instead of the default?

[Dave Ball]

Mine are sticking fine no problem here, but I don't switch states.

[ToolMan184]

Mine doesnt stick at all. It will reload the last toolbar state that was there when I closed.

[Dave Ball]

I just tried what you said and got the same result, I just never noticed it cause like I said I dont switch states.

[ToolMan184]

I have one for Design, Mill and Wire to help keep it organized a little better. It worked fine in X2 MR2. But, it seems to be broken now.

 

I just sent it to QC.

[Thad]

Do you save (the floppy icon at the bottom left of the Customize dialog box) your .mtb after assigning the default via the Toolbar States button?

[ToolMan184]

Yes I did Thad. The state its in when you close MC is the state it will be in when you open it back up. It should go back to the default when you open MC.

Also in your Settings Config under Start/Exit you need to make sure it Starts with the .mtb file you would like Mastercam to open with. I had some trouble recently with my X2 MR2 and ahd to delete my toolbar state files and re-create them for them stick. Not a big deal, just alittle annoying.

[Dave Ball]

Toolman,

It works fine in X2, I just tried it so something is definatly different.

 

Thad,

He is talking about switching toolbar states. When you switch toolbar states and then close X3, and then reopen, it starts with the last toolbar state instead of the your default toolbar state.

 

Seems like this should be a simple setting in configuration...

[ToolMan184]

Yeah, X2 was working correct. But, X3 is broken. I sent it to QC. I have checked everything in the config file and it is opening the correct .mtb file.

 

Del, I havent gotten that far yet. I dont think much changed except for being able to do multiple 4 Axis paths in the same operation. I did get an error when trying to open my power library. Said it was from a previous version. I will check and make sure it still works though.

[Thad]

I just wanted to make sure that the default is saved properly. If it isn't, what you think is the default may not really be. Therefore, it may be functioning properly, but you just don't know it.

 

I'll be back to work tomorrow for my first taste of X3.

Thanks, i've logged the bug regarding toolbar states. The bug number is 38274.

[Dave Ball]

38274....does that mean there are 38273 other bugs? j/k

[ToolMan184]

If there is, I seem to be finding them all.

ToolMan, I've noticed you seem to be having several issues with keeping changes you've made. Make sure that the folders that X3 are installed in that you have full read/write capability. I've noticed on some of my installs in the past that this has been a problem. I have to run as a power user on our network here and sometimes Windows seems to limit the write capability on Mastercam folders until our administrator goes in and gives me complete control over the Mastercam folders. Just a thought!

[Jim Helberg]

Has anyone figured out how to fix this issue? Or is it something we need to wait on the the MR1 realease?

I am having the same thing happening to me. It seems to be overwriting my mtb files and the toolbar states are halfway down the screen.
