In addition, when creating a new plane and assigning it a previously used work offset number, one is warned four times; twice when assigning the number and twice when saving the plane. I think in addition to having a switch to turn this off, one warning would suffice when it isn't turned off.

 

Check out the Verisurf WCS in Free tools we bypass all those warnings. :whistle: Yes we only work in WCS since that is all our customers need, but once you get use to the method no warnings is a nice thing. :thumbup:

 

Yes it should have the option to either see it or not.

I hate to be the one to ask that they do not remove this warning!

 

Right now the shop that I am working in they do not use multi work offsets, and along with that they request that the machinists or operators to set G54 in several locations while machining the part. I have been with this company for 9 years. In that time the senior programmers would only use cam to program one tool or just one feature on a given part. They would not program a complete job until just a few years ago. In fact the lathe programming was drafted in CAD with tool comp. and then written by hand. Now I am the senior member in this group and the longest one using Mastercam. This warning has saved my butt, I do not want to explain to the owner why a warning was removed and why we have a part with features out of place because one of us here failed to set up our WCS wrong. I had a to pull teeth out of a Lion to get a CAM package here.

 

While I will admit it would be nice to turn off that. I will not request it because it will bite me hard. I like what Ron said in using Verisurf. This way you can have your cake and eat it. At the same time you are not in my kitchen.
