Okay well then not to rub salt on the wound, but you get what you pay for. Hopefully they get it fixed on their end. I would be very upset if I was scrapping parts due to machine errors.
I have always kept things organized and archived since I started doing this. Poor organization leads to bigger issues. I was in a shop about 96-97. I kept telling the owners we needed to tape backup the computer I was using. It cost too much money was what I was told. I went out and bought 20 3.5 diskettes and saved all my programs and work onto those disc as I got everything done. Then you guessed it that system died after lighting stuck the building. They were scrambling thinking they were going to go out of business because all was lost. Then I proceed all the Diskette I had in my file cabinet in my area. Yes I had my own filing cabinet when I kept all my drawings, and tool list and setup sheets. They were mad since they had told me that was not needed and thought I was trying to steal their programs. I laughed and said if I was stealing your program then why would I even let you know here is a copy of everything? Crickets and they got a new system and were back in business that same day.
Point is can never be too organized when doing work. There have been times over the years I have pulled something out I did in the past and was able to use it for something currently. If you are a mess then you work will show it.
I figured out the problem. Apparently when X+ makes the screenshot, it temporarily switches the background colours to white (colour #15). I had accidentally modified colour #15 in the configuration to be a dark grey colour. I corrected that and now all looks as it should!
If they were a tool bar off the usable screen like previous versions I couldn't agree. I have all things turned up to 100%. You took my screen space then II want to know turning it down to hide them means I have more of a chance to be in the middle of something and click on them by accident.
Should be a switch to change from G30 to G28. Have you tried changing it from G30 to G28 and see if it runs? That is a needed section of code and I would be very careful making some major changes.
Hmm, Interesting. When we are doing surfacing work we have to either run it in Feed Mode (G01) for all rapids or manually set the rapid over ride to 5% or we get gouging on some of the rapid re-position moves.
