If you change the type of trim (EX: from single to corner the back to single) it will let you select another entity.
Not really a "back-up-one" but, it does work..
This cross-references to PWA 1447 PC
I couldn't find it in the machinability chart but, it looks similar to MAR-M-200+hf (PWA 1422 DS) which has 8% machinability.
Mastercam cannot do 2 different rads on one insert.
The only wat I could do this was to draw the tool correctly, let mastercam set it's rads then modify the part geom to cut correctly.
I could send you a file, if you need it.
I get the same message.
It never completes.
Mosly happens when moving large #'s of entities around.
Shut down, restart and it's all better.
Happens in X4 MU1 also.
In X4, when you right-click on the tool in the library, you get a drop-down menu and toward the bottom fo this is "save geometry to level" and "save geometry to file".
HTH, (Thanks for calling)
I just tried it.
Be afraid, be very afraid...
I was using a line extension on a groove tool of
one rad to get to the bottom of the groove.
The new, improved cutter comp realised this and added it's own comp to the cut.
Luckily, I caught it. It was going one tool rad.
(.0075/side) deeper.
I turned off the new cutter comp.

sounds like you are in thek for feeds+speeds..
I just found a possible answer to this problem.
Here is the link...

Check out the posts from Bob Hendrick.
I un-checked "write home position clearance moves" and all the extra z rapids are gone.
You MUST use reference points to control entry and exit moves wnen this is off but, I use them anyway.
See if this helps.
We have 4 twin-spindle Puma V550's, one 42" Bullard, 3 52" Schiess, and 2 50" New Century w/12 station ATC.
We program all with Mastercam
Controls are all Fanuc
I program all "horizontally" in Mastercam though I know the axes can be rotated to program in machine orientation.
Just my personal preference...
This is controlled in the post using lookup tables.
In the postblock "pgear"
there should be some lines like this:
if css_actv$ = zero, gear_spd = speedrpm
else, gear_spd = (conversion * g_speed) / (pi$ * abs(x_min$) * two)
gear = frange(one, gear_spd)
*gear
If it works for G97, maybe there is something wrong with one of these lines....
Or, you could check with your reseller, they should be able to fix this easily.
We just moved and re-wired 5 machines.
We used Belden #8335 (5 pair, 24 AWG, Shielded)
Some pretty long runs, with no comm. errors.
We bought the parts and had an outside company do the actual hookups.
I would like to see this problem fixed:

It is a thread about rapid moves between operations when using the same tool.
This only started happening in X3 and MU1.
