Customization's Gone

[metalmansteve]

Out of the blue all of my customization's disappeared.  Background color, tool bars, right-click menus.

 

I spent a lot of time getting these dialed in.  

 

  - Did I inadvertently do something wrong?

  - Is there a way to save these settings so if this were to happen again, I can reset them?

 

Running X8

0.26.0.139

Open up an older file that you used when you set them, see if they are showing there.

If so you have solved 1/2 your mystery

metalmansteve,

 

It sounds like your config file got reloaded and changed all of your settings back to the mastercam defaults.

You can save your settings under settings/configuration and settings/customize. You can also save a copy of your config file in case you need to reload it.

if you have X8 as a quick launch icon in your task bar, you may have inadvertently double clicked it which in previous versions resets MC back to the default config file.

That was a bug in earlier versions, 

 

I think it was X6 that finally cleared it..

 

I just tried it several times, blowing up the config did not happen, have you had this happen in X8?

Is there any chance that your computer was rolled back to a previous date?

 

If you have a z2g file done recently,there should be a copy in there

i haven't had it happen but remember a few years back people having this issue. glad they fixed it.

I have both x6 and x8 in my quick launch task bar in windows 7 but I haven't been able to reproduce the problem.  I haven't done a zip-to-go file or rolled back to a previous date.

 

Thanks for pointing out the save-as config file under configuration.
