MCU

[gcode]

Has anyone tried MCU from MetaCut yet.

I just got my quarterly newsletter from Mastercam and they had a writeup on it. I downloaded free beta version. It is VERY COOL!

I'm trying it now. It's the beta v2. I have MC v8 still and the beta won't work inside MC (just in version 9 until the final release they say) looks like it could still use some work..the Metacut View seemed to work a little better, hopefully they get this 1 to work well too. Pretty cool stuff.

I am using it right now .

 

there are some problems with it inside version 9

it will lock out the "t" and the "alt+t" hot keys,(may be fixed now)

and you will not be able to use mastercams verification, because metacut utilities will take over. so if you install it do not let it attach to the operation manager in mastercam as of yet.

but do let it attach an icon to the menu bar since this does work well.

 

it also has some problems reading the nci files.

but posted files work fine.
