  1. I actually skipped X. My last job had Mastercam 8 with the parallel port key, and when I started here in 2017 they got me that version right away. Fair point. I usually translate and trim geometry and earlier this week I saw "Stretch" over there and was like hmmm. Wouldn't have thought of it, if it wasn't right there. I had a nice rmb set up and one day it wiped my workspace back to the defaults. I got annoyed and stubbornly decided to get used to the defaults instead of customizing and learning how to back up my config, because I didn't think you should have to learn how to do that. The software shouldn't wipe your defaults out randomly. But, it does, and you do... So I'm on a learning and optimizing kick again. *edit* I'll probably just make a batch file to restore my custom stuff when it goes away. Also, I just noticed some of my config is in my One Drive folder, which could be a big part of the problem. I didn't realize it was there.
  2. I noticed a while ago Crazy Millman posted a pic of his layout, and it looks like he made it so it was back in X, where the buttons all stay where they are up top. Using Autocad the other day I realized how nice it was when the toolbar stayed as it was, as opposed to changing based on what you click on. The button to move something dynamically for example, will be in 2 different places depending on if I click a wireframe or a solid. I think I'd rather it stay put. Also, for some reason, the option to trim a line when selecting it has moved from the right side of my screen to the left. Thinking about un-ribboning this thing as best I can. Have you done it? If so would you mind sharing a screen shot? Thanks!
  3. Looky there. Way easier than jump heights. It's funny to hear my methods as something from "waaaaaay waaaaay back" LOL Can't believe I didn't look over there and see Avoidance Thanks again guys
  4. Hard to tell from that angle but it would hit
  5. Wow thanks for the video Aaron! Looking forward to training (I'm Dave Wilson BTW :hw:) Just tried this, I have some clamps to clear, I put them in as Workholding but it still won't jump them. Wopuld I have to make the clamps and the parts one m,odel for this to work?
  6. Speaking of the toolpath editor... Where the heck did it go? MC2024, need to edit some jump heights which I've done many times before, right click on thge drilling toolpath in question, go down to toolpath editor, and it brings me to the screen where I can add points to drill. The editor in the screenshots here is gone. Must be something right in front of my face...
  7. That's awesome. Cimquest has done the same for me, also within an hour.
  8. Thanks very much for doing that!
  9. Sure 146114957-3-cl-250-vtc-clamped-nothread.zip
  10. Did the level thing, thanks. Did you know, you can select a bunch of entities, then go to the level manager and right click a level and click on "move selected entities" and theyll move to that level? I did not know that. Found it by mistake the other day. I always used the "change level" command when you right click the screen.
  11. Yeah I tried that, it says it would result in a disjointed body and failed. There was only one piece that didn't change color though. I'll look into maybe it's no connected. Or maybe I can delete it and recreate it... Thanks guys
  12. Downloaded a toggle clamp from Carr-Lane, it's all separate pieces I want to make it one solid, no history. I'm missing something, cant seem to find how to do it. ANy ideas? Thanks!
  13. They missed "leverage", you shouldn't announce something like this unless you've added how it will help us end-users "leverage" something or other against our "solution" needs. I just text searched - 4 "solutions" and not a single "leverage". Bullocks!!
  14. Thanks! And you have Toolpaths, Levels, Solids etc.. on another monitor in there own separate windows?
