Mastercam OptiRough toolpaths

[JAMES GABEL]

I have a problem going on with Mastercam and I know that is probably a setting.  Every time that I make an adjustment to the cutter Mastercam changes the step overs and step downs.  Is there a way to lock in the numbers you put in so it will not change?  This is only happening with the optirough tool paths.

 

We are also having a problem with 2017 with Mastercam randomly putting in a 0 for the tool height.

I believe it is this box, uncheck it.

Have you saved the defaults when you have them close to what is your normal process for using these toolpaths?

One I cant stand is the XY stepover

% of dia. Min @ Max

It Stays at some other tools

Last tool , last time I used the toolpath etc.

Values.

I.e.

The % is at 75 % min .030 max .090

But I just picked a 1/2 endmill

The only way that it updates is if I change the 75 % to 76 etc.

 

What am I missing ?

 

Thanks !

On a side note I came across a bug yesterday in MC2017 that won't allow you to use 90% stepover with area mill toolpaths, just wont process. 89.9% or 90.1%  works.
