  1. Hello eMastercam, I've been working on a pet project that I think could be beneficial to some Mastercam users. Quick Parameters is a NET-hook that consists of a single modeless window displaying a subset of the selected operation's parameters. **Please note, this only works for operations that the NET-Hook API knows about. This means that it will not work on lathe or wire operations. To install, copy the files from the QuickParameters.zip archive attached to this post to the following locations; Copy 'Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.dll' to the Mastercam install directory, typically 'C:\Program Files\Mcam2019' Copy 'GalaSoft.MvvmLight.dll', 'QuickParameters.dll', and 'QuickParameters.ft' to Mastercam's chook directory, typically 'C:\Program Files\Mcam2019\chooks' You can grab the source on my Githib. A brief gif showing it's functionality. Right-click to customize the display colors. Feedback of any kind is always helpful. QuickParameters.zip

  3. Move your insert arrow down to the bottom of the mill op your checking. You have to get it out of the lathe ops.

  5. What does the debugger show you for the output line. Take just the contour and run the debugger in just run mode. Not Turbo, but run mode and show us what line is giving you that output. Picture Removed to save space Then you will see something like this. Picture Removed to save space You click on the NC line and it will show you the parts of the post it used to give you that output. Then you should be able to track it down to that specific section very quickly to know what is doing what you are seeing.

  7. I've had this happen to me lately and found that sometimes I need to go into the Planes manager and right mouse click on the active plane and then select Coordinate display and then Lathe D It doesn't necessarily "stick", but it does allow me to see my diameter values.

  8. This can be done quite easily without actually editing the post if you are using a modern post If you are using a modern post with the coolant switch NOT set to "support coolant using coolant value in post-processor" Go into the machine definition and then the General Machine Parameters and select the Coolant command tab. Click on one of the unused coolant event and type in something like: Flood with dwell. In the Enable field type in the command the way you want to see it. for example M08 G4 P500 Exit out of the machine Definition, saving as you go and allowing Mastercam to reload the machine definition. Now when you go into the parameters for the operation where you want the coolant to dwell, you can select the coolant option "Flood with dwell" and you probably will want to select "After" so that the coolant on with dwell will be on a line of its own. This is a pretty slick way of doing it, because you can post your coolant command with or without the dwell by operation.

  9. Hey Larry, it depends on which plane you have active. Be sure to click on whichever plane you want to see analyze info relative to.

  10. IMO, Smoothcam (I thought it was Mazacam or something like that) is a cancer that allows people to limp around and will always need points or data from another software. It needs to be kicked out.
