Questions about Verify in X7 SP2

[Matthew]

I have a couple questions about verify in X7 SP2.

 

1. Is there a way to set defaults for when I enter verify? For example - Stop Conditions, I would like it to always have "Operation Change" and "Collision" by default. Currently there are no stop conditions set when I enter verify for the first time using Mastercam. They will stay until I shutdown Mastercam. I believe this could also go with defaults for Collision Checking and Material Cutting, although they seem to default to settings I like (can't remember if I set them or if they were default with the new installation)

 

2. There are check boxes to show Stock, Initial Stock, Fixtures, Workpiece. I believe stock is setup from the Backplot/ Verify options button in the operations manager, but what about the fixtures, initial stock and workpiece? How do I define which modes represents these?

 

3. Compare - Probably along the same lines of questions #2, is can show the stock of the model, but where to set the model?

 

4. Sectioning the verified results - Often times I would use this to show the insides of a specific feature, say and groove that has tapered lead-in and lead-out on a bore. I would pick a point and pick the side to keep and 80% of the time I would get the results I wanted. Now I have 4 options of where to section the results. Can I change this position so it intersects a specific feature?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt.

Hi Matt, I see you are from Kitchener as am I. I don't have all the answers but for the question #1 I believe you can't any longer, I have looked all over for these settings and as far as I know they have to be setup everytime you restart MasterCAM. even the animation speed has to be set everytime. Also as far as I know the sectioning only works as you described it.
