Boolean Operation

[Tim Pruett]

Is there a way to select multiple tool body's when performing a Boolean operation? for example using the group or result quick masks or by window. (fingers crossed)

Yes....

The 1st body you select is the body you are adding "to"

Continue to select solids and they will be added to it...

They do have to touch or slightly overlap

Thanks for the quick response John,

I'm sorry, I should've said, select multiple tool body's "at the same time" with out having to select each one manually one at a time. I wish I could window them or use the group, or result quick masks. The first one I select is the "target" and most of the time I have several "tool" body's to cut out of the "target". It's a big pain in the rear to have to select each one of them manually. Am I missing something? There's got to be a better way.

Nope, to the best of my knowledge, it's a point & click Operation

Dang, I hope they change it on the next release.

 

Thanks John

You might want to submit that as an enhancement request

[Tim Pruett]

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but how do I submit an enhancement request?

Either through your reseller or directly to CNC

qc @ mastercam dot com

or even the main CNC Forum....I've seen many go that route as well

Awesome, thanks a million. I have a few things I would like to see added in the future.

Have you tired making them all a unique color and using color select ?

This works with surfaces, I don't know if it would work with solids

Can't activate the QM for ALL by color.....the select only is it and it's still point & click
