Verify MC9.1

[KEVCAM]

Hi all,

Just have a few questions that have been bugging me.

 

When I am verifying my toolpaths I have it set for true solid mode, to remove chips, display xyz axes. I get the true solid verify, but I cant get the xyz axes to show, as well I dont get the option of removing the chips. Is there something I dont have set right??

 

I used these all the time in MC8.1.

 

Second question: frequently I use Mastercam for rotational positioning. To do so, I am in side view. I change in to 3D construction mode and rotate Y up (to the angle I need for the tool to be perpendicular to the geometry) It outputs a construction # and tool plane #. I can use these cp#'s for other toolpaths in the same tool plane.

 

However; If I close Mastercam and reopen the file, all the Construction planes #'s change to different #'s. This is really anoying if I still need to continue programming the part.

 

 

Hope anybody can help me out...

 

Thanks in advance.

There is another user with the same problem. I've tried to replicate the [problem but cannot.

not sure on the verify problem, if you say that all your settings are correct.

 

on the Cplane issue, yes, this is very annoying. I have started to open the wcs manager and make a copy of the desired Cplane and rename it so that when I close and re-open at least I know that its named instead of going doh! where'd it go.

 

not sure exactly why it changes them though,

kinda if u ask me.

I had the same issue with T-plane numbers, my re-seller told me that mcam will not be stable if they arent named. It is time consuming to keep naming views, but I know of no other way. Hopefully there will be a better way in X.

Well at least I'm not the only one.. Hopefully they have it figured out better in X.
