Job Dimensions Missing

Post by bbowers12 »

I used to have Job Dimensions showing in the lower left hand corner of VCarve Desktop. One of the last version I upgraded to made it go away. Is there a way to turn that back on again? I am on version 10.0.18.

What screen resolution are you running? If you have the common drawing tools display checked you can turn that off to free up some space to get that section back. There's only so much room available so if you're running at a low resolution or a custom font size etc there won't be room to display that info as well as all the tools.

1920 x 1080. There is plenty of room down there, just not being displayed.

If "Show common tools on drawing tab" is checked, uncheck it and restart VCP.

Try dragging your windows task bar to the side of the screen instead of running it along the bottom, which is the default location.

Check your text size settings in Windows. If you're running at anything higher than 100% text scaling you won't see the job dimensions at that resolution. I run that resolution with 100% font scaling and all the common alignment tools displayed and I can see it.

Show Common Tools was the fix for this, thanks

Vectric is aware of the issue, I'm sure a fix will be included in a future update...
