Our Status Window used to display only while Executing. Now it doesn't. I have checked VIEW/OTHER WINDOWS/STATUS WINDOW, and now it only displays WHILE NOT EXECUTING --- it disappears while executing, and then pops back up when the execute is complete. I want the opposite. What stupid little check box did my newbie partner check (or uncheck) that I cannot see??? ("Hey Newbie!! DON'T EFF WITH THE SETTINGS!!") Even my saved User Layout doesn't restore this. We had an outside tech come in for a few hours --- would he have had any reason to eff around with this setting??? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you, DaSalo, you got me on the right track!! What I WANTED was for the Status window to show ONLY during execution, and close out when not executing. I had selected to show the Status window, but I selected it while the CMM was not executing. Your 'fix' indicated to me that there is a layout while executing, and another when it is not executing. That led me to try to select the Status Window while the machine was executing --- I've not tried to change settings while the machine was executing before. So, I deselected the Status Window, and DESELECTED "Use program layout for execution", and started to execute a program. While it was executing, I SELECTED the Status Window (from VIEW/OTHER WINDOWS), and up it popped. When the program was done executing, poof, it disappeared --- just what I wanted! Kinda particular on my part, but I like seeing the results in 'real time' and I also DON'T like to see the window open (taking up space) when it's static. Now I'm happy as can be, and will never ***** and moan on this forum ever again.
