The interface almost always changes between releases, even if only subtly at times, and therefore a layout captured in one ArtCAM product release cannot be mapped to the interface in a subsequent or prior ArtCAM product release. The file stores information about the interface in a specific ArtCAM product release. All of my custom materials loaded fine, so I would expect other settings should be able to load as well, especially the layout, as it is a separate file from the software.Īn ArtCAM Layout file (*.alo) is an ArtCAM proprietary file, so it is intrinsically related to the software. Thanks again for your patience and understanding regarding the fix for your reported issue with ScreenTips in custom toolbars.īut I do not understand why I should have to redo layouts and settings every year.

Well I do have patience to wait for the forthcoming fix. Thanks for your patience and understanding. I'll be sure to let you know when this is available to download. That said, the Development team have recently implemented a fix for your reported issue and this will be included as part of a future software update for the Autodesk ArtCAM 2018 product range. You were not told when a fix for your reported issue with ScreenTips in custom toolbars would be available, as shown here. I reported this issue months ago and was told it would be fixed in this release. When I hover over icons in custom toolbars, I still do not get screen tips. They are preserved when installing software updates and service packs for the same product wrote: Settings have never been retained between different ArtCAM product ranges. More time involved in resetting those too. I also forgot to mention that NONE of my other settings showed up either. This is the second time this has happened to me just since Autodesk took over Artcam.ĪrtCAM Layout files (*.alo) have never been compatible between different ArtCAM product ranges, so this subject has nothing to do with the transition from Delcam to wrote: Now I will have to spend the hour or two get my own layout back. I just saved the layout minutes before installing the new program. My custom layout would not load as it gave me the message that the file was INCOMPATIBLE!!?
