Back to Benderlink for Chiyoda
Back to Benderlink for KEINS

Previous installations required that the installer by logged into Windows as the user account that will use the computer with Benderlink.

This follows the Microsoft suggested method of handling program data for Windows from Vista and newer (Examples: Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8)

This is the file storage works for all users:

• The Benderlink installation program installs an initial set of common configuration files for all users. In Vista and Windows 7, these files are stored in c:\ProgramData\BenderlinkChiyodaKeins
• When a new user (new Windows login) starts Benderlink, the common setup files are used to establish a unique set of starting configuration files assigned to that user's private c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\BenderlinkChiyodaKeins folder.
• The bender and measuring center files are stored in Documents\BenderlinkChiyodaKeins. If these folders and files do not exist when Benderlink starts, then Benderlink will copy common configuration files from the common folder into this folder to give the user a starting set of sample parts.
• Benderlink will also automatically assign that Documents location as the default part storage path. (This path can be configured inside Benderlink to other paths.)

The File Data Storage menu now shows the current selected bender, and the path to which that bender's data will be stored.

The File Load menu now shows the current selected bender and the path to which that bender's data will be loaded from. Also, we've changed the up-down arrows to a spinner control.

Similar changes were made to the File Save menu.

Similar changes were made to the File Utility menu.

You can now skip the XYZ section for transfer from communication if you don't need it.

Use the new Options menu called "MQ85 Sections" switch this feature on.
