toolpath manager won't shrink

[Tim Pruett]

I can't shrink the width on my toolpath manager. It will expand but it will only shrink to a certain point. Any ideas?

Murlin,

 

Maybe I should've explained a little better. I can't make the toolpath manager window narrower. I can make it wider but when I try to make it narrower it only goes to a certain point then locks. Doesn't leave me much room in the graphics area.

Best solution, 2 screens undocked and run on 2nd screen

 

Your screen resolution could be causing part of the issue as well

John,

This problem is actually at our wire machine computer. (different programmer)  I had this happen once on mine but I think how I fixed it was to close mastercam and open a little older file and then open the new file. I'm not sure if that's what I did. It's been a while. I tried that on his but didn't work.  I keep telling him he needs another monitor. The company I work for is a little tight with their money and won't buy him one. I had to bring in my own. This is a frustrating problem. It's taking up probably a fourth of his screen. We've always had them shrunk down to where the dynamite doesn't show, (approximately 2.25" wide) . Been that way for a long long time. And now it won't let you make it smaller than 4" wide. I will try adjusting his screen resolution.

 

Thanks,

Tim

I Might suggest going into the registry and blowing up the

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CNC Software, Inc.\Mastercam X9\GUI

 

keys and restarting letting it create new defaults for the GUI settings again

I tried changing his resolution settings, didn't help.

 

It makes me nervous to mess with the registry. All I've ever done is do a registry clean. Can you explain how to do what you suggested. I'm not sure what you mean by "blowing up". If you don't have time I understand. I will definitely back it up first. I should also mention that his "options" arrow in the toolpath manager no longer works either.

If you undock it you can slide part of it off the screen....or just get rid of it all together....or use the auto hide......

I finally got it. I copied my .workspace file onto his computer and set his config file to use it and that fixe the problem. Thanks for all the input.
