Great CHOOK for wheelmouse support and other usefull functions!!!

[Stefan Salmen]

Hi guys,

 

What do you think about a small chook, which supports the wheelmouse for zoom and dynamic rotation? You don´t have to wait for VERSION X

 

We developed a small tool which can do that. You are also able to set up the operation and solid -manager with icons for mostly used functions.

 

Have a look at the pictures below.

Solids-manager

 

What do you think about this useful tool?

It looks pretty useful, especially for people new to Mastercam, since the graphics are the best way of explaining the toolpath and solids terminology.

So are you selling or just bragging?

 

Where could I get one of these chooks and what is the cost or are they free?

[Stefan Salmen]

Hi Mark,

 

No, I´m not bragging. We are into the testing phase and we want to hear the customers opinion.

They look pretty useful. Clicking on an icon seems easier and faster than trying to find that function in a menu that might be a couple of levels deep. As for the wheel mouse zoom and rotate, I've been waiting for Mastercam to come out with that one for a while. I bet there will be a high demand for them.

Very Nice. Especially the Wheelmouse stuff.

Really like the wheel mouse stuff.

[Phil Herman OEP Machining]

Sounds great. I have been looking for a way to zoom and pan with a wheel mouse.

[cadcam]

Stefan Will you be letting dealers test this?

[Neal Z]

Good idea. Made me think of a guestion about the

managers (toolpath or solids). Is there a way for

them to stay open on the desktop? Minimize or tile off to the side? Thanks

[kathy]

I would be willing to test this c-hook out also. Looks great!

I really love using my wheel mouse for zoom functions in other programs.

 

I also have been wondering why MC didn't have such a useful feature.

 

Looks very good.

Stefan,

 

Is a "SAVE" button included?

I often save while in the the OPs manager. especially just before i hit that VERIFY button

 

I think that it would be a useful feature.

 

TIA

Ya know i was J/K about that vaporware remark

[kathy]

And could you make that a 'Save' not a 'SaveAs' button??

[Stefan Salmen]

Hi all,

 

the chook works only on dealer sims at the moment.

I hope we will have a decision about a customer solution in the near future.

 

If you have any requests, don´t hesitate to ask!

It is possible to integrate every function of the mc main menue and you are able to configure the icon menue on your own.

 

Kathy! The save button is a good idea!

for -Enter---and Esc ?
