Planes always = WCS Broken in X8

[cobra95kev]

I use this function all of the time and now it is broke! Even setting planes through the plane manager it keeps reseting my construction view to an apparently system generated one named " Group Machine Group-1-MILL COORD-4"

What the heck is that??

if you are talking about planes=WCS I use almost daily and no issues here and on more then one box during the week.

As for your jumping to a specific name every time do not know what to say.

Does it do it on all files?

[cobra95kev]

have only tried one file so far. They also removed a box in the Plane/View manager. It was called enable origin. Was there in X6 and is gone in X8.

I am actually talking about Planes ALWAYS = WCS which is similar but is modal and always make them change together. I run in that mode 95% of the time.

Oh forgot about that one tried it worked great here.

I don't use this as I locks out my option to make planes for the 3+2 programming I do almost daily.

I do mostly full 5-axis here. Hardly ever have to create tool planes with the advanced multi-axis toolpaths. Some of the file sizes we work with here are over 500megs.

Which makes the view/plane manager very slow in coming up. Before when the planes always = WCS was working I didnt have to go in to the manager to change WCS. I could go to my right click where I have named views setup and select it from there and the T/C planes would automatically follow it.
