Hey Mark! how the hell are you. still at the sugar Factory I see. I also use Win7 and X5mu1. I had the same problem but got around it by using the snipping tool, Paste into paint , select picture and right click, at bottom of diologue box click invert color.
Save to a folder or just select picture again to copy to clipboard. you can now paste into any Excel(setup sheets) or any document. Hope that helps ya!!
P.s Thanks for all the help in years past .

That is exactly how I do it. when you verify toolpaths, The result of the rendering should look just like the finished part or solid I do a different machine group just to program a fixture or tooling.
I have had nothing but problems with Predator in the past and I dont like it. The Backplot would crash my computer. I have been using CIMCO EDIT with Backplot for years now with no problems whatsoever. IMHO, The best Editor on the market! Cant stand to use anyting else. Download the Demo and check it out. Also, Way,way less expensive than Predator!!!! Less than $*** a seat.
ok, but the difference here is that I never had X4 installed in my computer. I went from X3 MU3 to X5. I have been running X5 for about 5 months now with no problems. The problem started when I updated X5 to X5 MU1.
Hey guys! I found out what the problem was My custom MTB and/or Config file got curupted during MU1 installation. beware!!!
After un-installing and re-installing (backed everything up first), still had the same exact problem! Uninstalled again, This time deleted My Mcamx and shared Mcamx files. Re-Installed X5 and X5mu1. so far, looks like good fresh install. Re-placed original Config and MTB files with my backed-up, custom files and Bingo!,same problem again.
Luckily, I had backed up all MCAMX files on server 2 months ago before updating to MU1. Re-loaded My original, custom MTB file and its all good now.
Hi James, I did have the Cimco c-hook as my default startup file. I have removed from my config settings and also as JParis suggested deleted from c-hooks library but It is still doing this when I re-start X5. Any other ideas?? I hope i don't need to uninstall and re-install.....
