Edit control definition weirdness

[left coast lefty]

This is probably a really dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. When go to edit the control definition, the new window is down so low on the screen you can only see the top line, just enough to grab it and drag it up. This started when I first installed X6.

 

Thanks.

Same here.

 

Was going to ask about it when I first saw it, but got distracted and forgot.

Same here. I wonder if it has something to do with the control defs getting jacked after an edit.

Guys,

 

There are multiple ways to get into the "Edit Control Definition" dialog.

May I ask by which method you are accessing it?

 

1> Settings - Control Definition Manager

2> Settings - Machine Definition Manager and then clicking on the Control Def button in the toolbar?

3> From the File page of a Machine Group?

4> Other?

 

I've not encounter this (Win7-64-bit) and I been investigating the issue peon pointed to.

Meaning I been into the "Edit Control Definition" dialog in X6-MU2 dozens of times just today.

Which by the way would have absolutely nothing to do with placement of this dialog.

Roger, it will happen on all three methods. Please note, my control defs are on the server.

My machine and control defs are also on a server..

and I've had my control def renamed with a .tmp extension many times since installing MR2,

but my control def is opening right in the middle of my screen when I open it

Could it possibly be your screen reslolution? Just a thought?

 

They appear good here on my computer or on a server.

2> Settings - Machine Definition Manager and then clicking on the Control Def button in the toolbar?

 

Machine/control defs in default MC location "C:\users...whatever."

 

My screen (4:3) resolution is set at monitor recommended 2000 X 1600, or something like that. I'll have to get the exact numbers tomorrow.

I saw it happen the very first time I went into my control def after installing X6. At first I thought it was broken becaused I clicked the icon to launch it and I though nothing happened. After re-clicking a couple times, I finally noticed it at the bottom of the screen.

1> Settings - Control Definition Manager

 

This method puts it @ the very bottom of the screen for me also.......on 2 of our seats that I have checked.

[Thad]

Just tried the other methods that Roger mentioned and 1-3 all put the dialog box at the bottom of the screen.

 

My screen resolution is 1600 X 1200.

I had the same problem also for awhile on my computer.

 

Running the Mastercam X control panel applet and reset Dialog positions fixed it.

Glenn, that did the trick!!!

Sorry to say this, but that trick worked for a few hours and now it reared its head again.
