CNC12 5.08 Upgrade Issues
Today I upgraded from 4.17 (from memory) to 5.08. I just ran the installer and for the most part, everything just went and worked. I came across two little issues. The first is that the G code display has changed and looks a bit grotty on my screen. Is there any option to change back to the old G code display?
I also have a note for the developers. It seems that Skinning instances are not destructed or released. When I have a failed response from the DLL (e.g. CNC12 not open yet), I set my skinning reference to null, releasing it to the garbage collector to be dealt with. Then some time later I try again to create a new one. After the fourth time new Skinning() is called, IsConstructed() fails. Not an issue for me, but just thought I would mention it.
The second issue was with the skinning DLL. Something had changed with the return value of Skinning.ReturnCode.SUCCESS. My code was expecting 19, but it seems the new DLL returns 20. After an hour of looking for my code which I accidentally misplaced, simply re-refencing the new DLL and recompiling solved the issue. Well, it work on the demo version, will try on the machine later. It is probably mentioned in the CNC change log that the Skinning DLL has changed, but I obviously missed it!I also have a note for the developers.

hello. what screen resolution are you running.
and windows 'zoom' % of text.
can you post a fresh report.zip?

Screen is 1024x768, but running vertically. Cnc12 is docked to top of screen so is 768 wide.
Not sure on % of windows zoom. Would have to check that. I would assume 100% as everything else seems normal.
I will check zoom and make a report within the next few days.

Re: CNC12 5.08 Upgrade Issues
yeah, cnc12 needs to be 1024 wide or else the active codes are going to be big
if you don't use them you can turn them off.

Re: CNC12 5.08 Upgrade Issues
No way to switch them back to how they used to be? They were good as gold before. And to be honest I liked them in that old format better. They were more discrete.
I rarely use them, and I assume others who use good CAM software rarely use them. But very occasionally when I am too lazy to generate g code and write it on the machine. Or if I stop a program it is nice to be able to check them.
What was the reasoning behind making them bigger and more obvious?

Re: CNC12 5.08 Upgrade Issues
Shit, sorry, i had a brain fart. It's a 1920x1080 screen. So CNC12 is 1080 wide.

Re: CNC12 5.08 Upgrade Issues
So Windows is scaling the 1024 wide window up to 1080 and is screwing up the fonts. If you can scale your window to 1024 wide the font will probably look better.
Cheers,

Re: CNC12 5.08 Upgrade Issues
Remind me where 1024 comes from?

Re: CNC12 5.08 Upgrade Issues
what skinning features are you using?
please post a fresh report.zip
did you say you have the monitor vertical as in portrait mode?

Re: CNC12 5.08 Upgrade Issues
Yes in portrait mode. So cnc12 takes up the top part of the screen. I am not using any skinning features that relate to visual stuff. Well, none that I am aware of. No VCP. I will get a report when I can get to the machine in a few days.
