Can verify be captured as a movie

[bogusmill]

We want to be able to show an entire part run like what I see in verify starting with the stock through to the complete part, as a .avi or .Mp4 file so we don't need Mastercam loaded to show it. Is this something I can do with Mastercam or Windows or do I need to install something like FRAPS for this?

You could just film it with your smart phone and email it to yourself, no?

I use http://camstudio.org/

 

It's open source free ware and it works pretty well.

free, opensource, easy to configure, supports web/mic input. Designed for streaming, but you can save as Mp4, or FLV.

Is good for short screen-capture videos, host built right into the software.

MachSim will make a "presentation" which is a self extracting exe file. You can open this on any computer.

Thanks guys. I will try some of these suggestions.

+1 to Jing. Great freeware and so easy to use.

Mastercam can make a video. You have to use mastercam simulation not verify. In simulation setup, select a machine , identify fixtures and stock. There's an option in simulation to make an avi. I used it last week for the first time and it works great. It creates an .exe file, so for convenience I keep it in its own folder.

I use snagit for videos.

or run the .exe, and before you close it, look in your %TEMP% dir. The source files will be there, and it runs a little faster.

[bogusmill]

Could you be a lot more specific? A search of %TEMP% had 420 results. A search of .exe files had 4,800 results none of which were created or modified today. Yes I ran the simulation and did not close it before searching.

drop to a dos box, and type in the word "SET". There should be a listing there that says "TEMP=" (and then a path). That is the path to your windows Temp dir. (%TEMP%).

 

Its a hidden (system) folder; make sure you enable viewing of those files.

 

Cheers.
