XYZ coordinates display on status bar during verify

[kkominiarek]

when backplotting, the XYZ tool coordinates display on the status bar.

 

can this be done during verify?

 

i searched and found nada.

Turn on the 'Verbose' checkbox in the verify control panel.

Can other axes ( A, B & C ) be displayed whilst backplotting and / or verifing

[Richard Thomas - Mastercam UK]

No I'm afraid not

 

It would be a can of worms for Mastercam anyway - Backplot would need to know how your machine is built (VMC, HMC, four or five axis, Mill/Turn and an indexing head etc.) It's just not set up to do any of that, other than to simulate VMC 4 axis machining.

Surely it can be done, as you have already defined the machine before you can create any operations. Additional outputs would occur only if defined in the machine def. or post and ( I imagine ) be relative to the assigned WCS for that op.

 

It should display all available axes for that machine , because it can post them.

 

All the values should be displayed when stepping thru Backplot or Verify, but disabled when running ( as it currently does ).

If you use Machine SIM All axis values are shown
