    X4 Levels

    Is there a workaround for what I describe below?

    In the Status Bar where the Levels name is I wish to create a new Level and I click on the word Level. I type in a number followed by a colon and my new Level name but if the Level name is too long to fit in the tiny Status bar Level name box it just stops after a few letters.

    Example:

    5:New Leve....


    that's it. It won't let me type in the rest of the Levels name from the status bar. Am I doing something wrong or is there a workaround for this?

    Well I guess it is a bug, so I would report it to Mastercam's support depart. Looks like it stops after 11 characters.

    The work around is to open the level manager (Alt-Z) and enter what ever name you like.
