SHOW INFORMATION WINDOW won't stay checked 4

[dennisbruce]

After performing a measure distance I always have to check the "show information window" under "results display". Nx9 doesn't remember to keep this checked. Is there a customer defaults setting for this???

Try clicking "ok" instead of "cancel", that has done the trick for me.

Dave's tip should be the way NX menus record their settings. Leave the dialog with OK.

There is also a way to keep the settings even if you hit 'Cancel' to leave a dialog. If anyone's interested I can supply the 'fix' but it's officially UNSUPPORTED.

Please do provide the "fix"!

Does it work with NX10?

thank you!

OK, simply set the following environment variable:

UGII_UIFW_SAVE_MEMORY_ON_CANCEL=ON

Now keep in mind that officially this is a totally unsupported 'fix'. Now I've been using it since NX 7.5 (BTW, it was created per my personal request since it helped to make my demos flow a bit smoother if I didn't have to go back and start over filling in the options on a dialog if I was forced to cancel for some reason) and have had no real problem except that there are a few situations (which I can't recall at the moment) where this has no effect, but those are rare (and they will not be fixed).

So anyway, give it a shot if you wish to. At least, I think it helps to keep things moving more smoothly, but that's only my humble opinion.

Thanks Dave/Tomas/John! That worked. I think I will also add your "fix" John, I'll try that later today. Thanks for your help... ( that was so annoying ) Dennis
