Unfortunately, this does not work for me, as there are no options for Graphics Support visible in my installation's Advanced Configuration menu. I have Mastercam 2020.

Look here in the 2020 Launcher.

Have used this button option. as you can see had all of the operation open and the arrow was not seen. select this option to bring into view quickly.

Like Ron stated, contact you Mastercam dealer and request the post install of all the factory posts. On the Tech exchange you can go and grab individual posts. the one that comes from dealer has a large list of factory posts.

That know Gnomon represents the world planes . Like others stated if use your own WCS this Gnomon will always show the original World planes. you notice that your C and T and the Custom WCS  Gnomons follow your custom planes correctly.

Are you using a containment boundary are you selecting the all the floor and walls?

Tom did you figure this out?

Please make sure you use the Email genuine.mastercam At Mastercam and also send an email or call your reseller that you got this. CNC maybe a little slow today as it is later in the day at the start of the holiday weekend.

When using Lollipop cutters, tapered and relieved shanks won't work....make sure your shank dia is the same as your relief dia...that will make it look like a straight shank

You must be talking about a certain path. As all that mentioned path wise does support these tools especially lolipop.

off topic, but what kinda code is that???  Never seen it before.

This B-NCI this output a different way . you would not see this as a standard NCI posting like this.

As for the editor, it is popping up CIMCO because it was changed in the Config area to default to it. it you went back in using the quick short cut key of "Alt F8" go to Start and /Exit. You will seee Editor and set it to Mastercam and this will use the Code Expert folks were talking about as that is the Default editor from install.

If you do not set up what will call a custom launch icon by default if you Mill and Lathe on the NetHasp it wants to pull them together. Use the "Mastercam Launcher" to configure just to pull a lathe only. As you now know all ready the answer that you do not need a mill license for C-Axis paths.

I use slice as I have no need for the lower profile...

So if there are holes or slots on the Profile when doing Slice you will see the divets or holes shown in the profile cut is this what you want?

Now you say you use so you can get and upper profile. but as shown in the picture this is an option. So there is know other reason for using slice over Spin for you?

Thanks

For mill-turn products/enviroments we're pretty much stuck with code expert. Cimco for everything else. I'd go with code expert 100%, if I could only have a built in compare capability  

Mark let me know if this helps.

can you give me the name of the company it is under? I want to check something?

Ok well I cannot send you a msg explaining. I am asking for the company named in the lower right corner when the editor is sold under so I can check the licenseing to make sure you did not get the wrong license.

Did you know I spent the last few years as tech support for Cimco?

Company name of course. I found the .dxf export but it created a 21MB file. I have a ticket in with out reseller and will await their response about that.

Ron,

I read somewhere the CNC-Calc is an add-on to the pro license, is this true?

Calc is an add-on you are correct. Ron has a special license.

@Jayson Kramer-CNC Software

Does V8.05.10 still have this feature? I cannot find it anywhere. I have the Pro version of the software.

-Grey

Look in the lower corner of the software window to see if has your company name or licensed to Mastercam user world wide.

The colors pallet, in the Global setup in Cimco provides a good idea....different motions, different colors......makes it easy to visually see what's happening

So you like the option to change say color for the X values and so on correct?
So like this shown below.

No i never purchased it personally. If I ever did contract programming it would be #2 on the buy list. Got a free license ATM.

Northwoods: I liked how you could post comments in the NC code that would build the tool list. If cimco had a better tool library function, that would be great.

ATM not sure who that is but great to hear.

Northwoods tool list yes a lot of the post developers actually used to add that into the posts as a easy option to turn on and output. it may have been In-house that started that in the older posts.
When I used to work for the local dealer out here I was the Northwoods guy. I would talk a lot with Bill back then.

I NEVER touch code expert.

first thing i do is switch to Cimco on new installs for the backplotting.

 

 

i guess it's my loss on the post editing side.

would be cool if code expert could port over the backplotting form Cimco/NCplot/northwoods

So you purchased the upgrade to Pro.

Northwoods wow a flash from the past. LOL

Colors

Backplot ability, ala NCPLOT

Ability to understand machine canned cycles

Ability to understand work offset positions

Ability to deal with Fanuc macros

That would be a good start

So what did you want to see different to colors?

and the rest is all based of Backplot so I will group those together.
Thanks for the input.
