Mcam2023 intercepting left mouse clicks on Win11 machine
Jobnt replied to SlaveCam's topic in Industrial Forum
But it IS an acceptable answer. And it DOES suck. As I mentioned, they have some code in there to intercept the right click menu... That may be why you're having the issue. -
I was also able to move them to a different level and they behave normally.
-
As I mentioned, I created these lines manually to drive some toolpaths, they were not created by the system. I can blank them and they blank. Then I can unblank them. They're just normal lines but they aren't hiding. The level -25 is me analyzing the entities like you would a chain that was in a hidden level (the - indicates the level is hidden). I re-created the lines on another level, used them in the toolpath, and deleted the originals.
-
I created that geometry manually to drive a ball end mill. They're not hidden, just the level is turned off. (Toolpath type is contour, I don't display that because it makes it hard to read the plane comments) I rebooted and they're still there. I don't remember blanking anything related to this geometry. Can you go in to more detail about blanking causing issues?
-
Not sure what's going on but there's a lot of ghosting in MC lately. Things just glitched out, lines visible when all levels are off, selection of entities doesn't always work.

I have probably 15,000 hours of seat time with Gibbs over the decades. It was the first CAM system I ever used (the Gibbs / CAD / CAM / NC Macintosh-only version from the late '80's). Then I learned Virtual Gibbs when it came out for Windows. Ran that for a few years. Thought it was thee xxxx. And it was! Then I ran Mastercam v9.1sp2 and hooo boy did I have culture shock.
-
That's a bit of a stretch don't you think? I'm a v9 fanboi. I have less than a year of X seat time.
-
My problems have been fairly minor by comparison to others so that may have something to do with it.
-
That's a hard no from me. I've managed to get everything I need done here.
-
Mayhaps they didn't like being called out on their shenanigan's? I haven't logged in to the "official" site and probably never will. I can't imagine they've got more / better support there than the old timers here.
-
Ahhh, that makes sense. I guess there was a lot of people posting pr0n, illegal file sharing and making racial slurrs and they couldn't control the crowd. Still kind of speaks to my point I suppose.
-
The PTB here really don't get it, do they? Or perhaps they get it, they just don't GAF...? Seems they got personally butt-hurt and decided to cut off their own nose in spite of their face.
-
Technically you could program it more accurately, but the machine will still do what the machine will do.
-
Maybe when MC figures out how to release a functional version each year I'll upgrade each year. But to date they're taking years to address issues. I'm not interested in beta-testing released software.
-
Figures.

Moving on from Mastercam 2021 to either 2022 or 2023
Jobnt replied to BubbasDaddy's topic in Industrial Forum
The way I read it the dealer was encouraging them to upgrade because it gets harder and harder with each release. And I agree with OP, I don't want to be a beta tester for 2024 and would wait at LEAST until release 3. I may bite the bullet and have it installed along with 2020 so I can try it out. -
Is there a way to control the angle for each button push? 22.5°? It's at 5.625° now, I want 22.5°.

Mcam2023 intercepting left mouse clicks on Win11 machine
Jobnt replied to SlaveCam's topic in Industrial Forum
xxxx Windows 11. They put a shell over the shell the put over the Win8 shell for Win7. The right click menu is a prime example of them being lazy af: Right click. Select "More Options" (cuz they took out most of the stuff I use) and viola! There's the old Win10 menu with the legacy Win7 menu stuff. Who does it remind you of? -
Especially now that you can write that phone off on your taxes (you're using it for work)

Good programmers are not graded by how well they can write a program (or post). They are graded by how quickly and efficiently they can get someone else's code to work in their application.

Optimal CAD/CAM Workstation specs and configuration for Mastercam
Jobnt replied to jpatry's topic in Industrial Forum
... Oh xxxx. I'm back, sorry. I was LOLing so hard I had to let go of my desk to hold my belly (cuz it hurt from so much LOLing) so I fell over backwards and hit my head but I'm ok now! Seriously though, not all software is the same. -
My guess is literally 75% of mom-n-pop shops will quit maintenance and half of those will say xxxx it and move to something that isn't moving backwards in the name of progress.
-
I'm sure it will be for those involved in it's development. "Hey Clem I think we got all them thar bugs." But for the users? That remains to be seen. I cringe at the thought of this turning out like MC's Active ReBidens.

Gage pin in a slot is the fastest way I can think of. Or a comparator.

Oh, but I DO get it. Now. (I'm a little slow sometimes.)
