X4 not picking up tool settings from library

[jpaige09]

Hello all. Installed X4 last week and been having some issues with it. When I pick a tool out of the library, it doesn't automatically pick up that tool's settings. For example, if I pick a tap it doesn't automatically set to a tapping cycle as it did in previous versions. Any one else having this problem?

i havent seen that one.....i just get the coolant not updating using X style coolant i have to pick the tool then go to coolant and pick what i want again

Not seen the cycle issue, but I did send a email to qc@mastercam about the same issue as Tony35 experience

Also noticed that it doesn't pick up the depths of the geometry, it uses the previous drill cycle's depth

lars

did you get a email back from QC?

[Lars Christensen]

Tony35, No not yet, I have been sending a pile of emails with zip2go and screen shots with all kinds of suggestions, questions and bugs since X4 came out, sure if half a dozen have done the same they are flooded

I keep you posted if I hear anything.

[Lars Christensen]

Please do Tony35, lets push this one in front of the line, re-picking you coolant every single time gets old quick.
