Alt E Alt W

[DavidB]

In V9 operations manager Alt E use to expand all Toolpaths and collapse them Alt E again use to Collapse them into there groups and Alt E again collapse the groups.

 

Can this be done in X?

 

Also Alt W could split the graphics window?

[Yogesh K. Raman]

X has reached down under, eh?

 

the Alt + W does'nt work anymore. View port function is under View, Viewports.

 

Maybe you could try to assign keyboard short-cut?

Go to Settings, Key Mapping,

View ports settings are under Screen category.

 

I'm not sure about the Alt + E though. I'll check out if I have time.

[Yogesh K. Raman]

why use Alt+E when u can just use E? i think it also works that way in V9.

 

is there something that i don't understand?

[DavidB]

Yogesh,

You are right I always used Alt+E in V9 but I just checked E alone works the same, and works in X too.

Thanks

As long as your cursor is not in the graphics window. If it is then Alt -E- is still hide.

[Ken Erman from CNC Software Inc.]

X is sensitive to where the cursor is. Watch the focus change from the graphics area to the Toolpath Manager as you move it in and out. In V-9 the Toolpath manager was a "modal" dialog box, which means when it was open it had complete control over everything so it knew what to do with every keystroke. In X it is a "modeless" style, which allows it to be open all of the time and forces it to share keystrokes and know when it has the focus. Pay attention to the cursor location when you hit the delete key.
