From/To car position

[John F]

WMS

Same results no matter when I do it with new window or new "program"

I did have a virus recently but I don't think it has affected OneCNC. I guess I could reinstall it. But others seem to have similar problems also.

Thanks John,
I'll look into Windows 2000, that my be the difference.
Seems Windows Xp is Ok.
I'll also look at Windows 98 before someone asks.

So I guess the anwer to your second question is yes "I" can Pan with the key board, but right now for some reason "you" can't.


Thanks Mark. I was really

By the way ver "unobtainium" works ok also.

Guys,

In Windows 98 with all the Xp series the combo of:

Ctrl / arrows = rotates the model dynamicly
Shift / arrows is the same as above.

ctrl or shift and mouse button (right or left) does nothing.

So I'm begining to believe each ver of Windows acts differently.

John, I'll e-mail support about this and see if it is something that can be adjusted for different Windows versions. It may be that's possible and may be not. I know that Windows Xp pro has the "pan" feature you are asking for.

HU,
If you have Windows 2000 loaded and seeing the same problem as John with the "pan" lock up, would you send that in to support?

Thanks

XP-Ptrofessional / W2000
pan works perfect with Control/arrows,

Rotate works with caps lock/arrow keys and seems much more controllable and predictable then with the mouse.

Shift/Arrow keyc rotates what seems to be 90 degrees with each arrow stroke, cant quite figure out exactly what it is doing.

Tab/Arrow keys rotates in small increments.

Hey this is fun!

I cannot seem to reproduce that lock-up of the panning function such as John described, but I did see it once. I've been leaving my comp idle with EXpert running most of the afternoon, it works every time I try it now.

Here is how to make it happen: start up XP and open a new file. Then open another existing file. This gives you two open files. The panning function then will seem to stall, although you might see the screen flickering as if it is trying to move but is stuck. I think that there must be priority going to the new file window in the background.

To fix, close the "new file" window that you are not using.

Confirmation anyone?

Hu,
That's A BIG TEN FOUR. That will do it. If you do have an empty file open, (like when you start up the program) and open a existing file with out closing the new empty file. It acts just as you decribe.

I have started a new thread with a gold mine of info that Bob Francis just e-mailed me about key combinations for onecnc.

Pretty good when you can e-mail support at 4:30 pm friday US(9:30 am sat AUS) and get a detailed reply in less than 2 hours.

Okay, I'll send in a note. This can likely be fixed.

Thanks guys for all your help on this.

IN CAR POSITION IN ONE CNC MEANS WHEN YOU IMPORT THE
MODEL IT WILL IMPORT FROM UCS DATUM IT WAS CONSTRUCTED
IN OTHER PARTY SOFTWARE,WHICH MAY NOT BE THE DATUM YOU REQUIRE TO MANUFACTURE IN ONE CNC,SO WHEN YOU IMPORT IT MAY NOT BE AT YOUR DATUM AND NOT PARALEL . OVERCOME THIS ONE CNC GIVES A OPTION FROM IN CAR POSITION WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE IT FROM THERE POSITION TO ONECNC POSITION ,I NOTICE SOME PEOPLE MOVE COMPONENT AROUND UNTIL ITS WHERE THEY WANT IT,HERES WHAT YOU DO LOOK AT YOUR COMPONENT ESTABLISH A FACE YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO BE
LEVEL WITH YOUR X Y Z IN ONE CNC, PUT THREE POINTS ON THE FACE THEN SELECT ALL MODEL THEN SELECT FROM IN CAR POSITION THEN IT WILL ASK FOR A PLANE SELECT PICK THEN PICK THE THREE POINTS WHEN YOU SELECT THE THIRD POINT
ONE CNC WILL MOVE COMPONENT TO THAT PLANE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO NOW IS CREATE A CURVE FROM AND EDGE PUT A POINT ON
END(BETTER WHEN YOU CAN GET A EDGE FROM HOLE IN COMPONENT THEN CREATE A POINT IN MIDDLE)VERIFY WHERE THE POINT IS POSITION THEN TRANSLATE TO POSITION REQUIRED
HOPE THIS HELPS
