Summary


Details

Why does dialog memory not retain the stored printer when I delete any other printer in Printer administrator dialog?

1.At first, we had three printers.


Printer A


Printer B


Printer C




In my NX, "Printer B" was stored in DialogMemory.




2.Printer A has been deleted.




Printer B


Printer C




And in my NX, Printer C was selected 

Why?



Solution

What happens is that the NX Plot dialog memory remembers the "last" selected Printer index (1) on exit.  When you relaunch the NX Print dialog again, the dialog memory "remembers" the Printer item index value and sets it to (1) without knowing that the same index is now pointing to a different value (of printer).

When a user modifies an existing Printer Profile, it is advised to hit the "Reset" icon at the top of the dialog to reset the dialog memory because the dialog has no knowledge that the contents of the profile is changed.
