    Thanks guys, this will save me tons of time! Josh

    Steve, I looked up un-blanking and that was the issue. What can I tell the engineers so that this doesn't happen in the future?
  3. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    Steve, I'm not sure what blanked means? Roger, I just tried ram saver, no luck. If I window select there is nothing to select so its not a color issue, I've already moved the entities. It will go from say 2,000 entities to 287 after I move them.

    I routinely get dwg files that have stuff scattered across multiple levels. I reorganize the drawing to my standard levels but sometimes I'm left with levels that still show entities. If I turn off all other levels and screen fit theres nothing there. Anyone?
  5. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    But the thing that gets me is when I go into system config in the old file it defualts back to the old selection for point style.
  6. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    I see why, in this case its the same as levels/colors/etc. it grabs what was used in that specific file even if you have something different selected in the open program and/or defaulted in the system config.
  7. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    I changed point style to square in system config. save file. open an older file. while opening it shows the square point style in the attributes box and once the file loads all the way it jumps back to old defualt.
  8. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    Instead of System Configuration it should be called Individual File Configuration. Why would I want to change settings on a per file basis? Shouldn't that be the base system configuration for anything opened in MasterCam? Instead I have to change it every time I open a file older then the date I made the change. Is this to much to ask?
  9. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    Bottom of the screen click on "Attributes" and set for "Point Style" the square.

    What if your secondary (and smaller) monitor is on the right due to space limitations? Guess I'm screwed! Atleast give us the option of which side to place the OP Manager.
  11. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    I just tried that method and all I can say is you da man! That will save me a ton of time! Thanks. Josh
  12. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    Thanks Colin, I'll give that a try. Lifes pretty slow over here. I wish I was doing all the fun stuff like you guys and not this boring 2.5D all the time. I need a challenge for once! Josh

    I have been experiencing crashes when tabbing complex parts lately. its gotten to the point where I have to comprimise the safety of the machine so that the software won't get overloaded and crash. It used to get really slow after I placed a bunch of tabs and if I kept clicking and placing tabs the software would eventually catch up and everything would be fine. now I go slow and after say 20 tabs it crashes. Anyone else having this problem?
  14. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    OK, here's how I got it to stick on my system. Go into Machine type/Machine definition/General machine parameters-tool/material libraries. click on tool libraries and direct it to the correct folder. That one took me awhile to figure out. Save that Machien Definition and you should be fine. that overides the sytem defualts.

    Rename the control/config file from the working computer something that stands out from the others. cut and paste all files in the cnc_machines folder to a seperate folder. bring in the new files and direct MC to those only. once its confirmed that the settings are holding then bring your other machines back.
  16. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    On the machine you copied the Config file from was the tool library located in C:/Tools or the Default MR2 folder? I had a heck of a time redirecting things after copying a config file.
  17. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    I had the same problem Terry, I couldn't get MCX to associate with any files that were originally associated with V9 when I had a side by side install. invalid win32
  18. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    John, Tell that to my partner. me: don't hit the esc key! him: panic!!esc!!panic!!esc!! me: damn it, lets start from the beginning again...
  19. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    There is a save as, problem is when someone hits save without thinking. Matt, that sounds like a good idea.
  20. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    I know this is probably a dumb question but I'm not above asking. In V9 when you hit save it performs like the "save as" function in X and lets you enter a file name. In X when you hit save it's instantly done. The problem is I've had guys save over the top of files many times. So is there anyway to configure X to prompt on save?
  21. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    I get this once in a blue moon. It's generally just one or two arcs out of hundreds.
  22. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    I get the same results as Matt. enter: 0,0,1 0,0,0 get 0,0,1 1,0,0
  23. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    GF4 MX4000 I'm stuck with a PCI card!! It works fine in MR1
  24. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    Matt, if I do as instructed and hit a number without the spacebar it does bring up the fastpoint and the number I typed appears, after that I can't enter anymore data (just the initial number, cursor disappears) until I click in the box with my mouse. Steve, Yes.
  25. Josh Kinney -Elite Engineering
    create rectangle, 1", 1", enter, spacebar. no cursor.
