tool lenth offset

[Go Navy]

We are using Mill V9 level 3 and somehow or settings got messed up. How/what settings do we changed so that in the operations page the tool,dia offsset, length offset all default to the tool number? Thanks in advance for all the help

Under job setup check the Add button in Tool Offset Register, and then put zero in length and diameter boxes.

Under tool offset registers select "from tool". But you will have to change it in your scree/configure page to be active at all times.

JctJct worked like a charm !!! Is there anyway to force mastercam to default to those numbers? Ours changes to 1 and 20 with each new job that we run?

 

Thanks again

Yes

 

nc-utils

def.ops

defualts

Specify file name, just press the save button,

(do not change the selection..)

job setup

 

change the setting to what you require and then OK.. These will then be your default settings when you start a mastercam sesion..

Tried saving new default settings but no luck. Values went back to 1 and 20. Where in the screen/config tabs can we find the value to change to make from tool active at all times?

 

thanks again

Under NC settings at the bottom check what your operation defaults are set to there.. Again change under job setup.. return to the screen setup page and save your config file.
