New Interface

[TheCamYoda]

I heard a rumor that the 2017 interface can be changed to similar to the x9 interface....true?

[grimm]

I really want this to be true.  Anybody? 

[Reko]

Nah... why would you want to do that anyway?

 

From here on out, every update will look like this one... why not just buy in... leave it as is for a while, and use it to its full capability?

 

Heck, you might even end up liking it better.

Well , you can really bend 2017 it in so many ways , some new , some old (the tweaks)   , X9 being the runner up / the thing you compare it to , in just a few days X9 will become a blurred bullseye.to You .Believe me.

 

All the new threads are in one way or another stories of coping strategies for all of us in a transition  X9 / X10 (aka 2017) .  What is however new is the lack of information coming out of the official sources.  People have to rely on places like this to get that extra info to get by.  Maybe it's the sign of the times as Prince once noted

 

An example ,  in order to get my mold designs done I need Moldplus to get by, yet as of yesterday it was still unavailable for 2017  .  Yet I could not in any way make myself go back to X9 . So I did the core/cavity seperations on four parts  all on foot just so I would not have to leave  my cushy new surroundings.

Can the tool path icon  finish leftover be put into the ribbon bar in Mastercam 2017? I've tried with no success.

Should be able to add to a custom one, but not an existing one. All existing ones are locked down.

1.You can put any function you can ever think of into any ribbon you want

2. You can put any function into the Quick Access Bar

3. You can put all the functions into the right mouse button.

4 . If you don't like the original ribbons that come out of the box , you can turn them off and build your own. 

5. You can link any function to a keystroke , ALT+keystroke, SHIFT+keystroke,CTRL+keystroke

6.  You can minimize the ribbons , so you'll never ever see them again in your life if you want to go  cold turkey on them  . This is called exnining

7 You can add new groups to the default ribbons
