2019 Verify simulating home position

Recommended Posts

When I upgraded to 2019 Mastercam started simulating the home position in verify. This seems like it could be useful, but has given us some big problems. When I run machine simulation I'm getting overtravel alarms for the axis since the home position is out in space. The only reason we use machine simulation is to check for overtravel which makes this problem that much worst. We've also noticed that when we copy an operation and apply a different place that it will retain the old home position. On our five axis simulations this causes the tool to start inside that part and show a big crash.

I would be fine simulating the home position, but it seems to be very erratic. It seems that the home position is related to the work offset instead of to a global position. This causes every hold to need to have the home position dialed until it doesn't over travel.

Can anyone confirm this behavior?
