We have 3D CNC machines (X,Y, and Z) and the 3D view is slow to work with. The only time we use it is for simulation so I like your suggestion of giving us a choice.
The Development team are now investigating implementing this idea for the ability to control whether the 2D or 3D View is displayed when creating or opening a new model.
Which of the following would you prefer?
A check box or some other option control on the Options panel.
ArtCAM automatically stores the last-used view when closing the model, so that it is shown when the model is next opened.
I expect that the Development team could implement either, and a majority preference is what we're trying to establish here.
So, to be clear, your preference is that the last-used view (2D or 3D view) would be shown regardless of whether you're opening the same model, opening a different model, or creating a new model? Please confirm.
Many thanks to all involved for your contributions to the discussion regarding this idea.
The Development team have now implemented a Start new models in the 3D view check box in the Options panel's Miscellaneous settings:
With the check box selected, the 3D View is displayed when you create a new model; with the check box deselected, the 2D View is displayed when you create a new model. When you save a model, information about the active view is now stored so that when you open the model again, the last-used view is displayed.
These changes will be included as part of a future software update. At this moment in time, I do not know when this software update will be delivered; I'll be sure to keep you updated on its availability.
my question to the above image which states "Start new models in the 3D view"
shouldn't that be "open model in 3D file" ?
I would expect which ever is selected would be for both new and existing models
The check box naming is correct, as it controls whether the 3D View or 2D View is displayed when you create a new model; it does not determine which view is displayed when you open an existing model. The in-line help associated with the check box reads: "This sets whether to start new models with the 3D view or the 2D view initially selected."
In future, when opening an existing model, the view which was active when you last saved and closed the model will be displayed. For example, if the 2D View was displayed when saving and closing your model, when you next open the same model, the 2D View will be displayed.
This functionality is included in the Autodesk ArtCAM 2018 release, which is now available to customers with an active subscription or maintenance plan.
