can you create a net suface using solids? is there another solid function similar

we have two seats of x and one of them doesn't show a change in the color of an icon when you select it. for instance, if you are back plotting and select quick verify , it doesn't change the color to show it has been selected. this happens only on one computer. is there a setting in x or is it a monitor issue? also can you change the background color of your tool bar area from gray to something else? thanks

thanks!!! i knew it would be to easy.

i've tried to figure it out, but i finally give up. how do you move the position of a drafting entity after you already positioned it. i know it's probably so simple i'll feel stupid. thanks

duh , i should've did a search. thanks

wow that was fast!your right millman. now, how do i change them?

here's the deal. i created two machine groups in one file. in the second one i created a new op and also copied three from the first machine group. when i try and post all of them from the second group together i get two seperate programs with the difference being the new op in one program and the three copied ops in the other program. what am i doing wrong and how do i fix it?

thanks gcode and thad!!

i read how to do this once, but i can't find the post topic using the forum seach. how do you hide the ribbon bar so that it only comes up when you need it?

is there anyway to keep mcx from prompting you about a partcial nci file output? once in awhile i accidently hit yes and then it automatically starts to regenerate all dirty ops. this can be really annoying and time consuming.

i dropped the autohighlight toggle toolbar icon in the middle of the surfaces toolbar. how do i remove it from just that toolbar and create it's own toolbar ?

thanks john! thats exactly what i wanted to do. no more learning mode!

how do you get rid of the help bar that explains the hot keys that comes up when the ribbon bar is active?

actually the usb port automatically overrides the port letter designation and is working just fine. if i have the flash drive plugged in i can't save anything to the machine until i take out the flash drive. saving my mc9 folder to the flash drive as we speak. thanks for the imput and timely replies. man i love this forum!!! p.s. don't you guys have anything better to do on a saturday?j/k

chris, our fadal controllers use a g8 to turn accel. and a g9 to turn on decell. we always add the g8 to the start of our program and it really makes a difference.
