Hi, right now I am learning CAM hard.

So I read help about all features.

 

Where I can write about the misprints and other errors?

 

There is an example:

Wow, someone even more nitpicky than I am! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for the eagle eye. Please feel free to report them here; we'll work on knocking them out.

Another thing that is really annoying - is 1 sec popup help window.

 

What I mean. Frankly, I understand where is the problem only today.

So, when I used PC with big screen - I almost didn't notice that problem.

But when I use 14'' laptop, it happend all the time. If I keep cursor on some feature with large help window, that window just appear only for one second.

And If I do not quite understand what that feature do, I have to go to the manual page through browser and seach that description there.

But if I move strategy window to the bottom of screen - that help window fit on the screen and do not go away.

 

There are two screencast for illustration:

That problem with some parameters with large help popup window.

There are on my screencasts: 

On my screencasts it's a Passes > Direction and Passes > Tolerance and Passes > Stock to Leave > Axial Stock to Leave (for Face strategy).

 

But the same problems will be for all other strategies, with same parameters.

 

Another "bad" parameters, with same behaviour:

Heights > Retract Heights > From

Heights > Feed Heights > From

Heights > Top Heights > From

Heights > Bottom Heights > From

Passes > Smoothing

Passes > Minimum cutting radius

Linking > Ramp > Ramp Type

 

It is not full list, such problem parameters about several dozens.

Got it. Thank you. I can reproduce by taking my display resolution down low enough.

@jeff.pek how about this one?

Don't know if it's an oversight or bug but needs to be there IMO.

As I understood, problems with popup windows which orientated only to the top. An when it don't have enough room - it disappeared.

But some of windows works fine, they are reorientated to other sides (right, left, bottom) - to fit on the screen.

Clearance Height works fine for example.
