One of the things I noticed and don't like came about 2 revisions ago. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but, In my case we have 4 machines on 4 separate clusters of 1 machine per. when I go to do work on the computer in the OS, mind you we have nothing else on this computer, but when you try to do anything, click on a menu, enter a value, anything when a machine moves during a color change, it locks me up for that time that the machine is actually moving the needle case. Usually the most frustrating part is I've clicked something 2 or 3 times thinking I missed it before I realize that it's the machine moving in the background that I've tuned out! Then I spend time trying to undo what I 've mistakenly done when the program goes live again and registers all the clicks! I do like that this version doesn't ask me to save each design every time we shut down at night, But it would be nice if the machines didn't load the previous designs every morning also. Another issue is that when I go to load a new design it asks me to save changes on the current design. Of course thinking the machine is going to tell me "it's about to move" and wants me to click OK or hit "Enter" when the display window pops up, I hit enter every darn time and have to go cancel because this time it's really asking me to save a designs changes even though I can't remember changing anything. You'd think I can remember to read first, click later!! Oh well, So in essence has anyone else had these issues and no of a work around? I'd love to hear other ideas!! or complaints, I can't be the only one that needs to vent sometime...
