New information in X6 operations manager?

[gargodude]

I just got around to upgrading from X3 to X6. So far I am really happy because all of my bugs I hated in X3 seem to be gone. I really like the new operations interface. One thing I notice now is that on each operation description line in the Operations Manager (the one with the folder icon) there is now WCS and T-plane info. This wasn't there in both my installs of X3. Although it's kind of nice to see that info, it makes that line much longer and I have to widen the Operations Manager window quite a bit wider to read it all. This cuts into my graphics area on one of my installs where I use an older 3:5 monitor. Since I have never installed X4 or X5, I don't know if this is a new feature or something that can be turned off somewhere. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Right click in the operations manager and go to display options. There you can toggle plane display as well as other settings! HTH

That worked great. Thank you!

Wouldn't it be a good idea to be able to remove most of the information except for the toolpath Type and Parameters, and then have the option to make the rest of the info appear when you hover your cursor over it. It would really help when having a large amount of operations. Just a thought.

Brendan's the man! I think he helped me with a similar problem.

 

25" LCD monitors are really cheap nowadays. And you can use the 3:5 for a second monitor and drag all your toolbars and the operations manager over to it and use the 25" for just the graphics screen. Just a thought

if you look at the picture below the long info is after I put my cursor over it and it shows the hole line.

As you can see the op above it only shows a small amount as the ops manger is not set wide enough.

 

As for dual monitors this is helpful I have been running for years but with x4 and up you could dock the ops Manager on the other monitor. now in X6 I have the ops Mang and the levels Mang awals on on the other monitor.

 

PS you had the option to turn on the planes in the ops manager in X3 it just did not come on by default if I remember.

Brillant idea. Never thought of this!
