Material dimensions missing

Post by Peteg »

The material dimensions used to be displayed in the bottom left corner, and now they're not. I've not done any updates, how do I get them back?

Could this be a windows 10 update thing? after all, every now and then W10 decides that I don't need to see the battery status icon



I am not a fan of W10

It will only display if your vertical resolution is above a certain level. Make sure your VCarve window is maximised, that you haven't changed screen resolution and/or you haven't got the Windows taskbar set to be lock when it was on autohide before.

Another thing that springs to mind is display scaling. If the display scale is above 100% that can cause the same issue as lack of vertical resolution.

Hi Adrian

Thanks for the reply. The thing is that I haven't changed anything. The material dimensions were there one day and gone the next. So I don't understand what had happened.

It's not a big deal, but having the dimension displayed was handy.

Cheers

Peter

Something has changed with Windows though. There's nothing you can change in VCarve to stop it displaying. All the reasons why it would stop showing I listed in the other posts. You need to work through those and see what changed.
