Calypso 2018 & Default Printout

[[Ru...]]

Last week I upgraded all seats of Calypso to 2018. Some online and offline seats. Since the update when I open a feature in the measurement plan a new window will appear with the default printout for the measurement plan. If I keep the default printout window open it won't happen but if I close it then open another feature it will appear again. This has never happened on any previous versions of Calypso and I can't find a way to stop it. Its pretty annoying. I checked and the only thing selected in the Multiple Printout option is the PiWeb Standard Protocol. Does anyone know why the default printout window is appearing when I open a feature or how to turn it off? This is happening on all seats.

First things first. Not sure about 2018 but Default Printout will only pop up if you unchecked the "Background" option under Resources > Define Printout > Default Printout Tab. The trick is not close the window but minimize it. It will stay in the minimized mode until you maximize it again.

Historically, the popping up of the default printout has had several faces. Earlier versions would either have it ON or OFF by default. I also remember the Background option was Global at one time. It's been non-global and in Background for many versions but maybe something has changed in 2018. Hope to find out later today.

This is happening to me too and on all the seats we've upgraded so far. The Background is checked on and it still happens. I'm minimizing it like Tom said, but this is a new bug that should be fixed.

I just looked this morning and the background option is checked. Guess I'll just have to keep that window minimized until there's an update that will hopefully fix this. Thanks for the replies. I thought was missing a simple on/off option somewhere.

I have always wondered why this happened on some machines and not on others. I just minimized the window when it happened and went on. Good to know there actually was/is a reason.

Has anyone come up with a fix for this? I mean a real fix, not "just minimize it."

Same problem here. Really annoying.

Has anyone thought about contacting the Zeiss hotline? If they don't know about a problem, then it won't get fixed. If everyone here on the forum called, maybe it will get some attention.

I think you can halt the default printout to stop it from showing up all the time (Printout drop down).

When I started with Calypso 3.4 the default printout was always on in the background, then I think in 5.0 it wasn't and now in 2018 it is back.

This is what i got for an answer.
