Cant get Use tools step, peck, coolant in tool settings to stay checked

[Johnny5o]

Just installed X9 and cant remember how to get this check box to stay checked

Operation defaults through the machine definition then go to the control definition through there and set it in the operation defaults for that machine. Then at the control definition level exit and then save the machine definition level and Horne answer yes to update to the updated machine definition. Know you should have it stick. Follow the steps and you will get the correct results.

Seems like that did the trick. Thanks alot!

Operation defaults are unavailable from the machine def manager if pulled down from the settings drop down tab. Do you mean machine def manager from the tool path manager then access the edit function to the machine def from there?? I'm curious as well as I want to set my machine up the same way.

You can go in through here...click on the exclamation point

Thanks Jparis. That's the way I assumed it was done but reading through the instructions above had me scratching me head..

[Rick46]

OK jparis tried this method at work today and it's not sticking for some reason. Any thing else I may need to check or change.

 

Never mind had to close out mastercam and reopen. Thanks

If you open an existing file you need to reload the machine def but there's nothing else that needs to be changed

[Rick46]

It didn't give me the option to reload the machine def like it does if I change something on the fly. I was in a new session though Also. Just closed out and reopen and it stuck.

Does the tool step, peck, & coolant option not work when importing OPS. When ever I import ops I get no coolant at all.

thanks

Not that I am aware of. I will highlight all the operations I want it working with. I will then right click edit common parameters. I will then use the coolant in there and have it update all the operations that I want coolant using. Yes it would be nice if the operation defaults for a machine and control took precedence, but then what if you didn't want it to? A slippy slope for a developer so they have tools and methods in place to make it happen.
