Mastercam 2017 Questions

[ujmujm]

Could someone please help me with Mastercam version 2017

1) Surface Finish Flowline: why is the tool containment option not active (greyed out) I’m pretty sure in older versions that was active.

2) What happened to:  Surface Finish Parallel.

3) What happened to:  Coons Toolpath.

 

Thanks for your help

1. I don't recall 3 axis Flowline having a containment

2 Right click in the Op's manager

3 See #2

Thank you for the help, I never use the right click option, I always use the tool bar at the top I thought they where the same, thanks for the quick response that's gotta be a record

Nope, some paths did not make the migration to the bars...so, they are all still there, just a different way to get at them.....I don;t use the bars very much, I live on the RMB

You can make a tab for the toolbar with the old toolpaths that aren't in the pre set tabs.

John you are correct Flowline never had containment options. what helped is when added support for Check surfaces.
