  1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this extra geometry is somehow associated with the solid it may need to xform with it?

    X2

    Can anyone comment on whether you can redock the toolpath/solids manager in X2?
  3. It happens to me a lot when I am hitting (e) trying to get hot key for endpoint.
  4. I am using 2 20" widescreens as well with latest Quadro drivers, version 91.36. It was just fine with one @ 1680x1050, and even better with 2 side by side at that resolution.

    I am also using FX1300. I have noticed that after chaining something, like for solid extrude, when I hit the green checkmark the chain loses its color - in my case yellow. Sometimes only some of it goes back to the original color, sometimes all of it. Not a big deal, but definitely annoying. Is there any other setting that might affect this?
  6. I have had this happen if any of my 2d contour ops have control for cutter compensation type.
  7. That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Thad.
  8. I'm talking about aptitude test, not alcohol test. l
  9. -bump- Does anybody have a copy of the test mentioned in this thread?
  10. I have used a USB to COM adaptor for a laptop, but it was a cheap one. I ran into problems with it dropping huge chunks of code in the process with no warning - quite a surprise when runnung the first part. Be careful.
  11. Edit - Trim/ break - toggle from trim to break - then on the left select trim to point - then select midpoint or whatever. Hope that's what you're looking for.
  12. I just got a Quadro FX 1300 PCiE. I sure am glad I remebered this thread because my backplot kept backing up too. There is no way I would have ever stumbled onto that fix by myself.
  13. I have seen this before too, and after a few times stopped using it. I am very curious to hear a solution or even a workaround because this feature is sometimes very useful.
  14. Offset contour is a function that doesn't work with preselection, at least for me.
  15. I think I have some pictures. Would that help any?
  16. I have seen it do this just working with geometry, using offset contour, not even doing a toolpath.
  17. That did it. Thanks again John.
  18. Since updating to MR@ my setup sheet is triggering and working like it did, however the program name keeps coming up as "NC GROUP" everytime, regardles of what I set the NC File name to. I remebering this happening when I first transitioned to X, and was solved by changing the file name in the Files tab under properties in the ops manager. Anyone else having this problem?
  19. Remember we had carts full of them, but no one recalls where they came from.
  20. While you are laughing, can you recall our old supplier.
  21. Thanks Chris, I will look into these.
