operations manager

[polishman]

Does anyone have a way to locate geometry or solids or level from the operation manager.Lets say you create a program with 100 or so ops, 1 week or a month goes by and you need to make a change to the program or maybe someone else wroth the program.You open up the op manager and you need to find out what level the geometry is on for a particular operation in order to make the change.How does everyone search for that or figure that out.It can get pretty complicated when you start naming levels ETC.I think that mastercam could /should easily add something like that to the paramaters page, so if you double clicked on it it would let ya know what level and or maybe highlight the geometry.Any thoughts from use guys on the forum.

polishman,

If you are running MR2, there are two new Display Options in the Toolpath Manager that may help you.

My hack way would be to delete the geometry in question and see which Operation becomes dirty.

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

No need for the hack method anymore.

 

As Steve mentioned there are new options available.

 

Excellent new function. Just be aware that before you try to use the new function to highlight geometry, all relevant levels need to be on. Maybe even turning on all occupied levels would be best...

Pre MR2

If you go into your op, and click on the geometry line it will highlight the geomeotry.

I would download MR2 and see the features before claiming that it's not what you're looking for. The new display features that Steve and Matt were referring to do EXACTLY what you're asking for.

Pre MR2 I would still delete to see which one becomes dirty. I don't have the luxury of picking through ops looking for highlighted geometry.

 

The Display Associative Geometry is great but he's dealing with 100 operations.

[polishman]

installed MR2 you guys were right a couple of icons in the op manager really helps the whole situation ...kinda similar to the ALT-T but 1 million x's better

this new option freakin rocks
