You can adjust the projection between a holder and extension in the standalone Tool Manager, but not in Mastercam currently. If you select the parent component in standalone Tool Manager and then CTRL+Drag, it works the same way it does when setting tool stickout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTVylp7Mo1Y&feature=youtu.be I don't have my 39.5 foot pole to poke the trim comment right now...3 points

I actually misspoke- you can ALSO adjust the projection between a holder and extension within Mastercam as well, by right-clicking on the assembly in the Tool Manager, selecting Edit Projection, and using the same method of CTRL+clicking the parent component. Sorry!2 points

If CNC was truly concerned about workflow, they would have never have split up the trim menu....2 points

It looks like this geometry was created from a solid model. If you could gain access to that model, you could just select the floor surfaces for the machining regions and be done. If you can't get the solid model, then creating splines is a good option. Set the Cplane to 2d.

Re read the 1st comment. With wear comp you don't need to move at least the radius of the tool. That is control comp and this topic wrong and the wording in it is wrong. He might be adjusting the wear value, but some where on the machine they are putting in a Radius value in the control for the tool. That right there is a big red flag. I will normally start at Zero with wear and then adjust from there. Not the radius of the tool that means CONTROL COMP not wear.1 point

1. You can create an assembly in the standalone Tool Manager instead of assigning inside of a toolpath. You can always swap if you need to vary outside of your "standard" length. 2. You can edit projection even better from your toolpath. Right click on your tool(inside of your toolpath parameters), then click edit projection. You can then move your tool around the screen with the holder, and click where you want to check your depth. After you set where you want the tool to stay, then you can drag the holder up and down to your desired length1 point

Not talking about tool stickout,,,,,, Extension holder stickout from a main toolholder...1 point

In the standalone manager, You can stack the extension on top of the holder, but you cannot define a stickout length. So, what we do is assemble the holder, check the extension stickout and model the extension to the appropriate length, then marry them together. What we end up with is a multitude of the same extension modeled at different lengths.. Absolutely the biggest mess that CNC needs to address, This halfa$$ sometimes use this manager and other times use that manager to try and define tools correctly is an insane time waster.1 point

The Dynamic Xform can mate them very quickly as well. I use it all the time with very good results for those that don't have a CAD system outside of Mastercam.1 point

Too much work.....all I do is to build the tool on a level of my choosing and save it as a Mastercam file... Then merge it into my working file and import to tool manager. Need to edit the tool?? no problem....just open up the level and make changes. That way all custom tools are in the file they are used for and don't come from a tool library... You can use that tool in another file just merge it in and use it...1 point

Can you post your dxf? Once you figure it out it's incredibly easy. Do you have cut and nocut levels?1 point

This. You can also alter dimension notes and labels the same way. If you need to change what the label says, move it, resize it, etc after you already made it, just select the label and hit F4, and use the "Edit Text" option to change the text, and the "Quick Edit" option to move it and access the size option toolbars.1 point
