Solution found for the "END" key doing endless spin

[Glenn Bouman]

I saw this at a customer site that was frustrated with the END key endless spin issue in Mastercam.

 

It is an effective solution

You could always just press the End key again.

Gotta be careful with this nowadays I feel. I used to be able to let the rotate just go on an on, but I've heard several reports recently of Mcam crashing not long after the screen starts spinning.

[GoetzInd]

Yep I crash about a minute in.

END key endless spin issue in Mastercam

That was one of the first things I learned how to do back in the V9 days! And I thought it was a feature

Hopefully everybody reports this useless function to [email protected] and it will not be in the next release.

[Jayson Kramer]

LOL @ staring at the spinning screen for 60 seconds....I get dizzy after about 3 seconds...

I still feel that it is a feature.

It could easily be made into a useFUL function if the up and down arrow keys (or anything) controlled the speed of the spin.

That and the middle mouse button to rotate on a slow spin

Well, at least it's not politics I guess

No need for any more reports, as we're fully aware of this issue and "something" is going to be done about it.

[crazy^millman]

LOL Good Morning Roger.
