    BY default, System Config is set with no limits on the number of Undo events it stores or the file size of the undo cache.

    If you are creating a lot of geometry, the number of events and the undo cache can chew up a lot of RAM and buffer file space.

    Back in the early X days I used to get a lot of crashes when  working on some types of files.

    Setting undo limits stopped these crashes. 

    Now days my computers are more powerful and the software and OS are much better.

    I don't have these crashes and I've gotten lazy about setting limits. 

    Try setting some limits here and see if it helps

    Oh, interesting! I'll give this a shot.

    If you are not using the Ribbon Access Keys, turn them off

    If you are using them... ???

    I use them constantly. Way faster than clicking. 

    ??? is basically my conclusion. Is there a way to contact CNC software directly? Because I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere. 

  3. Whenever I'm doing a lot of modelling or wire manipulation with ribbon hotkeys (For example alt+w+e for line endpoint or alt+t+x for dyanamic transform, etc) Mastercam gets less and less responsive over time. Eventually it gets so slow (Alt -> G4 U1. -> W -> G4 U1. -> E -> G4 U1. -> Line endpoints dialogue appears) that I have to restart it to get it back to being snappy(-ish, heh). I've personally experienced this on three completely different computers (two programming machines at different companies, and my personal machine with HLE at home). My co-worker runs into this issue as well. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix? I haven't been able to find anything searching around online/on the forums. It's by far my biggest frustration with using this software and it's kind of driving my nuts.

    Thanks,
