Another mitigation of sorts, along the same line as your backup solution, is volume shadow copy on the file server. I have mine set to backup changes every 4 hours. At least I can get back the changes that were over written by my first shift user.

Did you ask your reseller about this? What was their response? I put a postblock on the offical Mastercam fourms that does this, I recommend you check this post.

Be careful with your m00 , I had to click force tool change in the path after the manual entry moo that I used the other day (mc2018), or the spindle would not start for the next operation!!! the coolant stayed off too. It worked OK on a 2d path, but not the finish contour that I used next. the post missed the m 3s1234.

I use a logitech G502 and love it. I really prefer the corded mice over bluetooth as the slight delay messes with me sometimes. I use a combination of claw grip and palm grip depending on how long I'm programming. For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about here is a link to the description of the different grip styles. I keep my mouse around 4000 DPI which is fairly fast. Standard button layout for me. I'm using this on a steel series mouse pad, highly recommend this. Fairly cheap and extremely smooth action. Once the mouse is calibrated to it the input is a lot more predictable. https://www.epicgear.com/en/technologies/types-of-mouse-grip As a side note my keyboard is a Corsair Strafe MX Cherry Red. The mechanical keys plus high rollover rates really help with Mastercam when only using the left hand on the board and some strange key combos that don't come up on regular keyboards. Plus the mechanical input guarantees input everytime. Really a must have for me.

G Code, I know what you mean by hand pain. This past Saturday I was at work programming for about 5 hours straight. When the end of the day rolled around I had developed a cramp in my hand. That is when I started looking at how well what I was using fit my hand. It didn't. I was claw gripping it. Oddly I ran across the 3D mouse topic earlier this week and saw where several guys mentioned gaming mouse. I was intrigued. A trip to best buy later that day and I had found one that fit my hand size a lot better. JLW the red dragon looks like a very nice choice for a good price too! If I hadn't just bought one, I would definitely look at this one. I just have a regular space mouse, so I only have two buttons there to program. I have them set to top and fit on the right button and then iso view on the left button. On the gaming mouse I setup buttons for reverse iso, select only colors quick mask (I do a lot of my programs by color, it saves me a lot of time), cancel quick masks, regen selected tool paths, toggle tool path display, launch backplot, launch verify and save. I have yet to do a lot of programming with it and I'm sure things will change. It amazes me that I never thought to do this before. Hot keys and shortcuts are so much faster than finding the icons in all the tool bars. The big thing is my hand feels better a the end of the day. Less tired and cramped up.

This is the post from the tech exchange correct? I'll take a look when I'm in the office tomorrow.

I use the same Structure but i still have all the folders from V9 to MCAM 2019 lol

Here you go see if these links help. Some relate to probing and others are about custom drill cycles in general. http://www.emastercam.com/board/index.php?showtopic=17722 http://www.emastercam.com/board/index.php?showtopic=15291 http://www.emastercam.com/board/index.php?showtopic=19194 http://www.emastercam.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24313 http://www.emastercam.com/board/index.php?showtopic=28834 www.emastercam.com/board/index.php?showtopic=31183

I think that entire page is a decimal error

yes.. running a Logitech K840 at work and a DasKeyboard at home once you get used to a mechanical keyboard, the regular ones suck They are like typing in a bowl of oatmeal
