"Stock View"

[Brendan P]

In mastercam 9sp1 lathe,if you right click in your

operation manager,at the bottom is a parameter

called "stock view".

What is the purpose of this?

I have played around with it,but do not really

understand the true function of it.

Thank you for helping!

Thanks for posting the question about stock view.

I didn't even know it was there until I read it.

It's actually pretty cool if you define your stock boundaries ( which I do ). It's sort of like verify except you don't watch the tool path. Instead you get an instant depiction of your part at each operation defined as you step through them. If you've ever used verify you might like stock view more. It gives you what amounts to a shaded surface of rev for each operation which can be dynamically rotated for viewing ( something which is a pain in the butt in verify ).

Thanks, I almost got through this day without learning something new.

You can also save a solid model, if you have solids enabeled on your sim, or a surface model by using this functionality.

Yes nominal,

I too think it is pretty cool.

I just didnt know if it could be used for any

real purpose.

It was a long time before I even noticed it myself!

I am new to this forum, so I figured I would ask

someone.

There are some really knowledgeable people

here.
