wcs cross hairs (lines)

[Roger]

I know you can get the world and wcs lines with F9, I thought you could also just show the WCS by it's self.  Anyone....

[Thad]

Alt+F9?

[Roger]

That gives you both.  I just want the WCS lines.  NOT the World lines.

I don't know if that is possible. I seem to remember it in X6 maybe? I checked my install of X7 and it is the same, F9 shows the current wcs plus the origin. Anyone know if there is a setting somewhere to change this?

[Guest]

It is not possible.......

 

All you could do if it was really that big a deal to you is change the color of the WCS lines to match the background....

 

Then you'd have to change them back to see them again

 

More of a PITA to do so IMHO

[Thad]

That gives you both.

 

No it doesn't. Alt+F9 does not give you any lines that span the length of the screen (like shown in your pic), but instead it shows the gnomon kinda like this pic. There are also axis markers in the corners of the screen showing other stuff.

 

The best option would be to use Verisurf tools and turn the gnomon on.

[Thad]

Verisurf tools will show you this, WITHOUT the brown lines.

[Roger]

I don't have Verisurf.  I was trying to find a better way of showing my operator where the part origin is.  I'm currently printing the part in ISO view, with the grid showing the origin, (The grid doesn't show very well.  I think I need to have the spacing set smaller).  Have also been looking at the set-up sheets.

The Verisurf tools for MC is a free download. You get some other cool stuff in there besides the gnomon.

 

If you don't want to, or can't download it, then ALT+F9 is the next best thing.

[Thad]

Here's what Alt+F9 gets you.

I make my own prints inside of mastercam.

[Roger]

I downloaded Verisurf, and have the gnomon on the screen.  But, when I print it, the gnomon doesn't print out.

[Roger]

Never mind.  I will just use Verisurf screen shot.

You can choose to print with that info, when you go to print, simply check the screen information check box and the gnomen will show up. If the large crosshairs show up you can turn them off with f9 as others have mentioned and simply do the altf9 as other have also mentioned. This sounds like what you need. \

 

I just tested what i have described above and its pretty simple to get just the small gnomen to print without seeing the large lines on screen, just make sure when in the print screen (x9) you check the screen information box and it will include the gnomen and scale.
