Aaaaand 15 minutes later and a lot of clicks I just got it done the old fashioned way...

Peter would be your best bet to whip up a chook. I don’t think you can export the tooldb to anything expect a database program.

I agree and why I send emails to QC all the time with suggestions and ideas.

I don't think it would be unreasonable to have a message for the most common error types like "No cut zone found."

Part handling operations don't have tool change lines. The lack of a tool change means that opinfo doesn't 'see' part handling operations in it's offset(default) mode. This means that you need to read the operation stream to look at all the operations. If you have questions about this I recommend you contact your reseller or post on CNC Software's forum.

Bob, All of the drill cycle customization is available in MT as it is elsewhere in Mastercam. Your local reseller should be able to get the items added into your machine environment. In the Mill-Turn platform we opted to replace the limited misc value (10 integers/10 reals shared between all toolpaths) with an unlimited number of tokens which can be used for integer, real, boolean, or string values. The tokens can also be limited to use for specific operation types and other conditions. I am not sure that I understand the question of whether they persist or not but I think maybe there is a misunderstanding that has occurred somewhere. When you post from Mastercam to the sync manager you can edit any of the available tokens in the sync manager nodes, including multi-selection of operations to set similar values at the same time. Once you have done so, click save and the data will be written back to the .mcam file. For coolant, we opted for a strategy approach to better deal with the myriad number of coolant types that generally appear in the more complex mill-turn style machines. The strategies allow you to finely control how the various coolant options are applied across tool changes and reposition moves. The strategies are applied in the sync manager where you can easily visualize the work flow for the operations across the various streams. For example, if you use the same tool in your b-axis head on your left spindle and follow with using it on your right spindle, do you want the coolant to turn off while the b-axis rotates and repositions, or do you want it to spray all over? Do you need to enable your through spindle coolant prior to approach to allow the pressure to build before cutting and then enable your flood to turn on after approach? Do you reverse the process for retract or do you simply turn everything off prior to retract or even after retract? Strategies can be defined to handle any of these cases and any others that you may desire. I will keep an eye on this thread and will try to add more information if needed.
