Can’t access Intercon from CNC12 screen

Post by _Doug »

Hi,
Newbie ? again/or help
#1—- No access to Intercon from main screen (Cam buttonF/5)? All the keyboard F-1 >F-12 only access windows functions . That’s not the biggest issue it’s mainly that the Cam button is non responsive.
#2 —- When I go into Intercon and want to post a project, screen comes up saying that there are to many events for a" free license”, I purchased the pro license and it seems to be Ok in CNC12?
Is there another up charge to unlock using Intercon on larger projects?
Thanks Doug

#1 - The first issue could very well be Operating System focus. Try clicking (or tapping if touch screen) within the blue CNC12 window and see if that gets the F keys controlling CNC12.

#2 - Does that message go away when you open Intercon from within CNC12? Anyway, please post a fresh report so we can confirm your license is installed correctly and so on.

For #1, look for a FN Key toggle on your keyboard. There should be a FN key that you would have to hold down when pressing the F1-F12 keys, and there may also be a FN key lock to keep it as function keys. Your keyboard may have some software that allows for changing this as well, along with the possibility of some special key assignments.

Hi,
I reinstalled the License file and that solved the error message re: No license.
#1 issue is still there …..even by holding the Fn key and selecting an F key, screen just flickers once.
Thanks ….
