Mastercam VB script, modifing existing toolpaths

[Jerry Crofoot]

Using Mastercam VB script, is it possible to modify an existing 2d contour toolpath operation’s “top of stock” or “depth of cut”? If so, could you give an example.

Hi Jerry,

 

Are you using Mastercam X or V9? It might be possible in X. There is also the "Edit Common Parameters" option. What building are you in? I'm up here at Everett Boeing in the 40-56 building. I'm in the IRC NC Programming group. If you need any help with Mastercam I'm available to give you a hand. I know both version 9 and version X very well and I'd be happy to show you some tricks in either version. I think there might be an easier way to accomplish your goal.

 

Best regards,
