New Auto Hole Axis

[Jayson Kramer]

Reko, I will check on the toolpath as defalut tab.

 

CJep,

Yes for through holes it goes in the direction the surface was created, blind holes should point out of the hole. You can select a hole vector line with the mouse to flip its direction or select use the Reverse Vectors button for the last selected group of sizes. When you select a hole it toggles from select/unselect.

 

This tool works with surfaces so when you have a solid is makes surfaces to get the holes, you can delete the surfaces and keep the solid afterwords.

 

 

Jay, you going to AutoDef? I can use your help if your interested?

Ernie so you know the Verisurf X7 beta does not work with Beta 4

[crazy^millman]

Jay, yes he is aware of it and they are working on getting it addressed. Thanks for the heads up.

[Jayson Kramer]

Thanks Ron, we need to catch up soon.

Verisurf tools have been updated with Verisurf 6.1.

 

We fixed the slowdown issues with dynamic rotation on large shaded models. It’s now lightning fast!

 

Toolpath tab should now be the default tab on startup.

 

Other new tools that was added.

• Captured Views; this saves your view state, MBD display state and level state, all with nice animated graphic display when changing between captured views.
  
• We also improve Verisurf Operation Tree layout options and added unlimited sub groups.

[Jayson Kramer]

Ernie, did you get it or need it?

[crazy^millman]

Everyone the Download section of this website has the link for 6.1 if you are wondering how to download it.

 

Ernie is out of this most of this week so he may be limited on his responses.

 

Tom thanks and they got what they needed.

Is anyone esle having an issue with the new one.

 

I turn off the WCS and every time I restart Mastercam it is turned back on, the setting won't stick to keep it off

[crazy^millman]

We you say WCS do you mean the one Verisurf has made?

[cadman2112]

Yup, the Verisurf WCS gnomon.

 

I set it off, shut down, restart it's back on again

[crazy^millman]

Hum, I will shoot an email over to the developers and see what they say.

 

Have a question are you doing it through the preferences or through the MBD tab?

 

I did test it and cannot duplicate what you are seeing.

[cadman2112]

Ron,

 

I am doing this through the MBD tab in the OP Manager.

 

I uncheck, click OK, then if at any point I shut down Mastercam, when it re-opens it is checked off again.

 

I do have admin rights, I have full control

 

Here's a funny this I just noticed this morning.

 

I opened Mastercam, no WCS Gnomon BUT it is still checked on i the preferences

 

Weird happenings

[crazy^millman]

Cadman I have seen the preferences thing before. It is sometimes the admin rights at the NT level with Windows 7. Yes you ma be admin, but you are not really admin in the eyes of Windows 7 unless you go to the NT level on each folder and give full admin right to your account. The only true way to be a full admin on Windows 7 is to logn in as Administrator then Windows 7 goes okay correct login name so you must be the master. All other admins are in reality just supped up power users. Right click on the mcamx6 folder and go to security and see if all created accounts have full rights if not then give all account listed with the names you use on that computer full rights to that folder. Now you will truly be a full admin. Let me know if that if that takes care of the oddity you have been seeing.
