You can trim splines only if they are to long. If they have to be longer you can extend them first, and then trim. HTH

I found it by hitting the wrong spaceball buttons Yes i've reported (to day)

Open the levelmanager, Hit F4 (analyze), Hit Esc 2 times. And there you go !! I've set the level manager and the analyze to spaceball buttons, so some times this happen.

When you have an across contour, the cut depths wil be ignored. Mastercam take's the top and bottom of that contour as cut depths.

Do a search for 'Matts', and you wil find a lot of threads (information and frustration)

Tim, Disable Hyperthreading may help Here you find more info

Settings -> Configuration -> Screen. Is Graphics support set to OpenGL ?

Settings -> Configuration -> Screen. disable : 'Use Learning Mode prompts'

Bellyup and Ezra Thanks!! quote: VX : select the entities you want to copy to a new level, right click on levels and a dialog box pops up allowing you to input which level and whether to copy or change.Thats it! quote: It would be nice however if in the translate-new attributes dialog box you could select to change just certain attributes and not all or none. Maybe MR3

bellyup, V9: Screen - Change levels - Copy, then select whatever you want to copy to the new level in the ORIGINAL colorS. VX: Translate - Copy - new attributes: The copyed entyties all have the same color.

quote: yes, but you could just select the color you already have or the one you want. Not when there are difrent colors for Surfs and Wire Frame

In the transform windows you can enable: 'Set new attributes'. Now it set new Level AND Color. I would be happy with it when i could disable/enable the color

Thanks, but i'm looking for a lazy, fast solution in X, like an VBScript. In V9 i do "hardcopy" (assigned to F11), and instead off 'Do it' i do "clipboard" (assigned to F12. Then in my setup sheet Ctrl-V, and thats all.

I did a search for "screen capture", and found some solutions for V9 Specially this The VB-script from Crazy-millman and Rekd is exact what i need, but it dosn't work in X. Maybe there is a newer version, but i didn't found

Bullines, Stay here as member, and we will mis you less Good Luck

In V9 the direction of the line is leading. You can see the direction with analyze-dynamic, the arrow points the + direction.
