I use quick actions a lot. Just like everyone else, I alos use the jog screen a lot.
Every single time I switch from the Run screen (where the quick actions are) to the Jog screen, I get the exact same question every single time.
“Hey did you change the tool?”. The answer, OF COURSE, is no, because I can read, and I know I’m supposed to push the button before I change the tool.
The message is annoying, intrusive and useless once I’ve seen it once. Even worse, it actively trains the users to ignore messages, because the the correct behaviour is to ignore the message!
‘Esc’ works to make it go away at least, but it’s still tedious.
It’s certainly just a “click it to make it go away” thing after the first couple of times it happens.
I’m not sure why it is where it is. I would have thought that changing the tool during jogging would be more likely than elsewhere.
As it is, you initialize the machine, it asks for a tool to be inserted, does its thing to measure the tool, and then to proceed further it asks you if you inserted a tool inappropriately. Curious plumbing.
I still maintain that all that is required is a appropriately coloured fixed-position indicator or status to say “it is not safe to change the tool” or “it is safe to change the tool”.
When the Beta first introduced this message, I asked to have it removed. Rob reasoned that he was between a rock and hard place in that the folks who were complaining about the sequence for changing bits with the bitsetter - who were having problems - were pretty loud and plentiful. The end result was to leave it in so that they’ve done all they could.
I had recommended they have a check box on every message dialog that says, “Don’t show this to me again” and then have a “Reset” in the Settings panel to bring he messages back. This is the way Photoshop, and many other software packages, work.
