Stock update on lathe, why not mill

[Larry1958]

I was just wondering why there is a stock update on lathe and not mill. Am I missing something? Is X5 going to have this feature. It would be nice when verifying a part when starting in the middle of my operartions to see the current state of my stock when using mill. I am currently using X4. Thanks in advance.

It may just be wishful thinking, but I thought this worked in an earlier version of MC. I have used many different cam programs so it may be something else.

Nope, you're thinking of something else.

It did work on earlier versions of Mastercam if you purchased the moldbase option with simple geometry (pockets, holes, c'bores, etc). It got dropped (moldbase option) when Version 7 got released.
