Verify Question

[MattMj]

I'm running X2 MR1 SP1 and I have a verify question. Back in some older versions of Mastercam while running verify the color would change when the tool reached full z depth. Like in a remachine when the last cut touched the bottom of a pocket, that entire surface would change color. Is there a way to get this back in the most recent version of mastercam. I can't seem to find it.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Try settings..configuration..verify interface..(hit + to drop down) to verify settings and select change tool color.

 

color settings are in same window to select different colors for different tools.

Thanks but I've already found how to change the tool and stock colors. I just can't seem to get it to change when it matches on the Z depth like it used to do.

Are you talking about compare to STL?

 

That's the only thing that I recall about earlier versions and colors changing based on stock left.

I understand now. I hadn't realized it didn't do that anymore.

Nope,

now what you see is what you get.

I noticed the change immediately, I was fond of the old functionality as well.

Thanks for the response. It's not really that big of a deal. It's just something I got used to. Now that it's gone I keep thinking I'm not at full depth for whatever reason. Guess I'll eventually quit living in the past. :-)

Hmm, I thought the old thing of changing colors when Zs matched was an evil bug because it hid which tool actually cut a floor. I am very glad it went away.

I always thought is was a bug...
