When I bring up mastercam, the origin lines appear. I can turn them off with the F9 key, but they used to be off when i brought it up and i cannot find the config setting to turn them off upon startup. Thanks.
changing the mouse pointer in the control panel does nothing for the crosshairs in mastercam. I'm sorry if I didn't make sense in my post. My crosshairs are gray and very difficult to see. I've used them like this for a couple years, but it would be nice to be able to see them better.
Well, I will try to help. It might be confusing to explain. I have a mori seiki SL-5 with a 10T fanuc control and FAPT conversational control. It might be older than your machine, but I think I can identify with this problem. There should be a way to save in the conversation side of the control. I have gotten in habit of doing this before I crunch code because my machine sometimes will freeze and I will have to restart it and I lose all the programming data. Well, also before I start programming, I call up the previous program and that brings up all of my settings for geometry and parameters and so on. In MY machine its under family program and there's a sequence like 1,@ O(program #) that I type in after selecting family program input. If I want to save the program I wrote before crunching code, I would overwrite by selecting family program output and 1,R,@ O(program #) I gotta say that without the book for the control to this machine, I would be lost from time to time. It has its quirks, but it is a solid machine.
