Guys,
I received this e-mail from Bob Francis of OneCnc about dynamic keys:
Hello Ward
You wouldn’t believe how different Windows XP to other versions of Windows. We as programmers certainly do our XP version is of
course optimized for the Windows XP. There are a large number of differences in some of the messaging in the various Windows versions
and we are working to make sure it all happens. Unfortunately some features only happen in Windows XP because their other versions do
not have the same ability. Compounding this is the fact that we have basically pioneered the interactive dynamic ability in CAD CAM to
the extent that you can even use these functions while inside a function. This is even so while using tool path preview you can have the
tool path being processed while dynamically viewing. In doing this we naturally found numerous problems between the versions. As they
are reported we will address them however we know in some cases that the ability may have to be turned off in some of the older version
Windows. We would prefer all users use Windows XP as there are many advantages however we also realize that we have a commitment
to do what ever we can in the older versions.
This is our default accelerator keys which are based on Windows XP you will see that some of the keys are meant to rotate 90 deg such
as shift + arrow keys for example. We also recommend users use the Microsoft wheel mouse as we support the dynamics of the wheel
also

This default set of keys are an internationally recognized set that seems to becoming the default standard by high end CAD modelers.
Solidworks use this same and we have added a few of our own as well as the Microsoft set. This greatly assists users by having
common so that users who use both software find it very easy to use.
Problems can also be compounded if the user does not have the correct and latest driver for their graphics card. We always suggest that
users download and install the latest drivers for their graphics card as in certain cases has resolved problems.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we will continue to address the functions in these older versions.
I hope this helps and you can pass on this list if you wish.
Regards
