Mastercam 2017 Gview on Ribbon Bar

[Gulligin]

I don't understand why they removed the Gview button from the lower status ribbon bar.  I mean... they included the Cplane, Tplane, and WCS buttons- Why not include the Gview button as well??   I have a file with 20 custom Gviews, and I was using Gview... Named Planes..,  to quickly select between custom views at the bottom of the main window.

I can't use the C-plane named views button, because the gview doesn't follow the Cplane (and there's no way to force "Gview follows Cplane".

 The only way I see to quickly switch between named Gviews is to use the plane manager.  I'd rather select a gview from the main window, without opening the plane manager.

   Why not include a Gview button, and have the Cplane/Tplane follow the Gview?   I would think that graphical view selection would be an easy selection on the main screen.  

I can't even select a named Gplane from "graphics view" in the main ribbon bar. The only way to select a custom Gview is in the planes manager window.   Why would I have to open the planes manager to select a Gview that isn't one of the main "Top/Bottom/Left/Right" Gviews?

You still have that, they just cut the "view" part out. You simply create a plane that shows what you want then click on the "G" in the plane manager window.

 

To be honest, I like it better but if you only run one monitor you're gonna have a bad day.

I think they should replace "Tplane" with "Gplane" on the lower ribbon status bar, and have people select the custom "Tplane" in the plane manager.

I mean how common is changing the Tplane to something different than the Cplane?  

We should have the Tplane default to equal Cplane, and change it in the plane manager if you need something custom.

I think a Gplane button would be way more useful on the lower status ribbon than a Tplane button would be.

I agree.

 

Btw you can set tplane to follow CPlane. That's how I have mine.

I'm old and I hate change lol. Still fumbling my way through programming  a part with the new interface, Jury is still out on the new interface, feels a lot like when Ver. 10 came out. Thank goodness building the right click menu didn't change.

Viewsheets can help too. But i still really miss the old interface..

on the plane manager, click the little box under the G.
