Get rid of this #%&@* button already!!

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

If you really want to remove this functionality, it can be done.

The button will still be there, but if you click it nothing will happen.

 

Disclaimer:

You really should not be messing with this file.

BACKUP IT UP before ever touching it!

If you don't and have to re-install Mastercam, it's no one's fault but your own.

And finally - I never told you about this.

 

In the main mcamx7 folder you will find the Mastercam.ft file.

Open it in a text editor...

 

Find this ->

 

FUNCTION CPP "OMregenDirtyOperations"

HIDDEN

END_FUNCTION

 

And add the '#' characters shown ->

 

#FUNCTION CPP "OMregenDirtyOperations"

#HIDDEN

#END_FUNCTION

Now you've gone and done it Roger....

[Richard Thomas - Mastercam UK]

Not sure how many here know of this, but if you have accidentally set off a regen of a Multithreaded operation (like Stock Model, and 2D/3D High Speed toolpaths), you can go to the View menu at the top of the screen and press "Toggle Multi Threading Manager". In there you will see the progress of the m/thread ops that are processing. After an initial period of where you can't do anything to a process, you can then select it and press the Stop button at the top. How long that takes depends on how complicated the process is.

That's the ticket!! Worked like a charm.
