Lost backplot "quick verify" when cut parameters are to control

[chad.wadsworth]

My company recently added a cnc router (Morbidelli m400), and I've been instructed through my current support to set my cut parameters (running Mastercam 2020) compensation type to control (our other machine was wear).  

We're a cabinet/fixture shop, so typically run 4' x 8's of wood sheet goods, parts nested with 3/4" spacing and a 1/2" border.  I use the backplot "quick verify" option to visually confirm that my parts aren't cutting into each other.  When we switched from wear to control, I lost this option for some reason. So now, I am switching to wear to verify correct toolpathing, and switching back to control for posting, which is time consuming and I'm hoping someone out here can give me some options, or help me suss out what I'm doing wrong.

to clarify, I have the quick verify button, it just changes nothing when I have it highlighted as an option

Troubleshooting from our support has had me confirm that the "simulate cutter compensation" button was check (it was)

and to update my video driver on my pc..

The morbidelli takes xxl which translated to pgm (our old Heian router takes nc), which apparently doesn't like the wear option

any suggestion/feedback?  Thanks,  Chad

You're right about the Morbidelli not liking wear.  I have been running SCM machines for 15 years and never used it because of that.  

When I played with my setup (also Mcam 2020) I found that I had to step through the backplot for the quick verify to show up.  Does this work on yours?  I'd think if this is the case then running 'verify selected operations' maybe quicker.

Actually, just playing around with it now I discovered the "trace mode" button.  Now that I have it selected the quick verify works fine.

Hope it helps!
