A Collision Occurred

[Jobnt]

In verify when there's a chip left over from an operation, and a following operation hit's it, it calls it a collision. 

Is there a way to "ignore chips" when in verify? I could have swore MC did that back in the day (or maybe it was just remove chips?) 

[MrFish]

yes, use the remove chips button, click on it then click the chips and they will be deleted.

Machine Simulation also provides the ability to remove chips.

It's located in an odd spot, inside the "Measure" docking pane and in the drop-down list.  When this is turned on, it does it automatically while processing.

I can't find it, prolly in a newer version than 2020. That would be cool though!

That is Machsim not verify in his photo. 

[Rory]

Yeah, that's in MachSim.  Mastercam 2023.   Not sure if it was in earlier versions.

I recently started using NCSIMUL and it has a function like that, so I went looking for it in MachSim.

Oh. Well... There's a Terry-worthy rabbit hole I don't have time to go down.

I've been using verify and just now found machine simulator, which I can't get to work.

It's very cluttered opening it the first time. You can disable most of the docking panes for the beginning and just activate what you really need. And you need to define the stock and other stuff in a different window before starting MachSim.

I use both the MachSim and verify depending on what I need.
