Robert, I have only worked at this company for about six months, we have 10 lathes in the turning dept. and three operators, the other two use MC9 and I am the only one tht uses X2 on the same computer. Boss told me that he was going to get another seat of X2 and a new computer which is fine but I dont want my settings messed with. So puting two icons on the desktop should work fine. I have been trying to train these guys on X2 but they like MC9, it would have made it easier for them to learn slow instead of being forced all of a suddon. Either way they should like it a lot better after a while.

Thanks JParis, yes thats what I ment.

what about just puting separate icons on the windows screen

I am using X2 MR2 SP1, is there a way to share a seat of MC and have our own personal settings. Thanks

I havent figured it out yet, Ill have to work on it later, I guess I have to write a program now. but thanks for the help, hope I didnt offend anyone by altering this thread

you can use ALT + printscreen When I try to do this, nothing happens

How did you copy your screen like that?

I am using X2 MR2 SP1 also, and my colors are in a different order than yours

Thanks JParis, Worked fine, except Im not sure if your ending color is 252

Hey JParis, How do you get your screen colors like that, thats cool.

I was hoping I didnt have to search through that novel

Hello All, I am using a .0015 Rad. ID tool and trying to generate a .002 Rad. When I POST it, there is no R value just direct moves. Is there a tolerance setting that I can change? Thanks

Thanks Roger, that was too easy

I started all over and about 3 or 4 operations in to it I posted it, and all was fine. so I finished it again, and agian no Z moves. What am I doing wrong? Very fustrated. after that I drew up a simple part tool pathed it and it was fine.
