is there a way to search the buffer quickly? we have very long programs and we want to be able to search say... for a tool if we break a cutter. rather than having the operator scroll manually thru thousands of lines of code before restarting the program.

Our solution is to copy/paste the data buffer out to the editor - search for the line we want to start from - delete everything above and que it back into the buffer and hit start.
Not a perfect solution but once you've done it a few times it doesn't take more than a couple of seconds.

hmm... surely it wouldnt be hard to intregrate a "find" or "search" into the dnc app. any chance this will be part of a future version? we are considering a large deployment of either easydnc or dncRemo and i'm sure this will be a factor. we try to keep things as simple as possible for our operators as most are not very computer savy, i hate to say.

Hello 'Guest'.
Of course you're right. We could add a search button to the data buffer window. In fact we do intend doing that in a future version.
MacroTech is just telling you what "he" does using existing versions of software.
Taking this a little further - as well as the search capability we're also adding a "Start From Here" capability meaning you don't need to delete all the text above that point.
Timescale for this update is V5 later this year, Maybe august/september 2010
