Dragging Geom to another Toolpath

[DavidB]

In X7 MU1 are you guys seeing this?

If I drag the geometry from a previous toolpath down to the toolpath below it adds it. Meaning the new geom is added to the geom allready in the toolpath.

I use to get an "Add or Replace" promt in previous MC versions.

are you using the left or right mouse button? left just adds, right gives the pop up.

I seem to recall MANY versions ago that dragging geometry from one op to another had this "new" functionality. Then, somewhere alone the line, a left click and drag offered the same options as a right click and drag. Now, it appears that it's back to how it used to be.

Thanks, I never seem to recall using right mouse button before to get the add Replace prompt

It has been right mouse button for ages, to get the replace prompt

No it hasn't.

[Thad]

No it hasn't.

 

I'd say it has (depending on what you would call "ages"), but it did the same thing with the left click, so many may have never noticed.

I didn't even know you could do that LOL

Been that way since X2 at least.

Yes it has. As Dragracer mentioned above, around X2 it was like that. I recall using that function at one of my previous employers, and I was running X2 then.

Bumping this one again

 

Using X8 ( jumping up from X5 )....L-button drag ADDS the geometry....BUT....help pages tell me "it always will replace existing geometry"

- what gives ??

- I would have imagined that the programmer should have the choice....not the software

 

 

I do realise ( now ) that R-drag gives the choice to drop it ( ADD or REPLACE ) on selected multiple ops ( not yet sure if this is a good or a bad feature )

 

My preference is have the choice dialog on both buttons when drag....L-button drag to single op,......R-button drag to multiple ops.
