MasterCAM defaults

[BenzB]

Is there a way to change certain defaults in MasterCAM. Specifically the following two for now:

Manual Entry, defaults to "Post as code" radio button checked. Can I change this to default to "Post as comment" checked?

 

Lead in/out: adjust length of contour, defaults to "shorten", would like to change this to default to "lengthen".

 

TIA for any insight.

Hi,

I don't know which Mcam version you are using but in X3, you can alter theses parameters in Control definition manager, default operation tab (this is stored in .OPERATIONS file i think)

Awesome, that works in X8 as well. Thanks David!

To bad your settings can not transfer to new versions of Mastercam.

What are you talking about? Of course they can

 

You can take your defaults file into a new version
