x7 verify options

[Bronson Jasso]

I am running x7 sp2. I have multiple operations in one file, and like to flip/translate the .stl file with different operations. I am having trouble with the stl not showing up in verify correctly? I have selected the stl in the stock setup and it shows it properly in mastercam under the show hide lathe stock, but when I launch the verify screen it only shows a solid block with no pockets(I cut pockets in first op, then rotate and translate stl). I have tried to use the file option, and the stock model in the verify options with no success. is this a common problem with x7? it worked in other previous versions of mastercam.

Make sure the 'stock view' is still in TOP. If you've changed the view it cause problems....

[Bronson Jasso]

it is top view. I opened the stl from op1, translated rotated and saved as op2. when I open the stl it looks good. just not in verify.

Maybe try to save your stl with a looser stock resolution. Not sure that will help but worth a try?

pockets in a lathe op? maybe this post might be helpful ....

its on a 5x mill, the icon in mastercam says show/hide lathe stock..., don't know why, it just always has regardless of the machine definition or machine.
