Rotated views for X6

[Luke.Hicks430]

This is a general user interface question.

 

I am working on a part where the 3rd op has the part standing on end.

What I want to do is use the same model as the other 2 ops in the same Mastercam file.

 

I rotated my view about the Y-axis 90 deg. This way when I hit [alt]+[1] I get a top view of when the part is standing on end.

The problem is when I try to navigate my view with my mouse (aka, rotate to look at my part using button 3 or scroll wheel)

The view jumps back to the original TOP WCS view.

 

Is there a way or a setting to make this not happen? 

 

Thank you,

Machine Type >> Design >> File >> New

 

Settings >> Config >> CAD Settings

 

Uncheck these 2

 

 

Then shut down and restart Mastercam

Sadly that did not work,

 

I didn't restart my computer, just mastercam.

Hi Luke.

Go into Settings -> Configuration ->  Screen and on the right side of that dialog, make sure "Use 'Free' mode in Dynamic Spin" is checked.

I have a somewhat related question regarding interface.  90% of the time my middle mouse wheel works perfectly for dynamic rotation.  However, it will occasionally get locked to one axis such as the WCS Y and then will only rotate about that one axis.  I have now clue how I'm activating that if I am but the only way I can get it to go away is to close Mcam and open it back up.  Any suggestions?

Rob,

 

That fixed it thank you! Now I just need to get one of those fancy 3D mice...
