MasterCam Video Problems

[BDUB]

Hi all,

 

Thought I was going get ahead on work by loading M-Cam on my home computer, and working over the weekend.

I pull over my first file from Solidworks.

Every thing looks great, I thought I was well on my way to a productive weekend.

Then boom I try the mouse wheel to zoom in for my first tool path. I tried forwards & I tried backward then a funny combination of both all it does is Un-Zoom Un-Zoom & more Un-Zoom.

 

I have tried everything I can think of to possibly fix this issue with no resolve.

 

Has anyone experienced this problem, or have any ideas on possible fixes

 

I have tried diver update, Disabled hardware acceleration, Disabled Front buffer, switched from OpenGL to GDI in the software, and a combination of the above mix. I have also tried to Decrease hardware Acc. on the computer settings.

 

Here what Im running

 

OS - Win7 - 64

AMD Athalon X2 3.2 Ghz

Dual G-Force 7950 GT Vid cards ( SLI )

Mastercam X4 MU 3

Lathe, Mill3, 5X, Solids

Solidworks 2010

 

Thanks again for any help

you don't mention the type of mouse you are using.

I'm running Win 7 x64 and a Logitech G5 mouse..

I have my scroll wheel set to vertical scrolling

and it is working properly in Mastercam.

It looks like you're running a pretty hot gaming

rig there.. maybe one of your game profiles

is overriding "vertical scrolling" on your mouse settings???

uninstall the drivers for your mouse and let window decide the driver for a moment..I have win 7 64 bit on two computers and have not had these issues.

 

But I have seen this with Microsoft mouse and it was due to the drivers.

The mouse is a MS Wireless Laser 6000

 

I have deleted all the mouse profiles & set the default mouse profile to vertical scroll for the scroll wheel -- No Luck

 

I have also tried to set a custom profile for MC.

No luck for the scroll wheel, but you gave me a idea for a temp work around that will save me from chasing around the screen so much. I will hot-key one of the mouse buttons to F1 this will eliminate some of the extra mouse work.

 

Man I remember back in the day when chasing around the screen and hot-keys were the only way

Now I'm spoiled with all the time savers and habits are hard to break in a day.

 

My computer just might be telling me something.

 

LESS WORK MORE GAMES!!!!!!!

LOL

 

Thanks once again

Ill be calling Shopware on Monday to see if they have seen this problem

take the MS drivers out and replug the mouse in and let windows give it drivers..

We had the same issues with a microsoft wireless laser 5000 running on windows 7 64 bit with x4. Replaced the microsoft mouse with a logitech mouse and had no more issues.
