Cimcoedit.exe executable folder, sub folder "Types" - If it's bundled with MC, it may be found on one of the subfolders of your appdata folder. Just type %appdata% in your navigation path in Explorer and you should be able to find appdata main path. Browse the folders local or roaming, not sure now, and search for the folder CIMCO A/S and the "Types" sub folder there. Your ISO Milling .mac file is there. 

If you only have problems with the colors but have other settings you want to keep in the .mac, you can:

1. Close Cimco Edit
2. Go to the "Types" folder 
3. Rename the current "Types" folder - This will force Cimco Edit to recreate it and all default macs in the next start
4. Start Cimco Edit and close it
5. Open the ISO Milling mac using Notepad or Notepad++ - Do not use Cimco Edit or open it 
6. Search for the colors section within the recently created file 
7. Copy the entire section to the clipboard 
8. Open the old Mac that is inside the renamed "Types" folder with Notepad or Notepad++
9. Search for the colors section and paste the clipboard contents over the color section of the old Mac file
10. Save the old Mac file 
11. Rename the recently created "Types" folder 
12. Rename the original "Types" folder to "Types" again 
13. Start Cimco Edit 

The default colors will be back along with any custom settings that you added.

Typing from my cellphone so hope it works. If not let us know, 

Hth

Delete the file mac file with the name of the machine or control you have set in the ribbon. Types folder in the install folder. 

Make a backup first. 

Honestly... From the names you mentioned, only Vericut, Camplete and NCSimul are worth the effort... With NCSimul being the best bang for the buck in your scenario...

Well, if you want to be really accurate, I'd say then that CAV is emulation, not simulation. 

CAV systems are the true form of reverse post-processors. Through tweaking, they can reliably emulate a myriad of characteristics and behaviors of a real machine and control, from its kinematics to some aspects of its dynamics. Embedded simulation cannot do that to a great extent. 

Not sure if you are familiar with musical instruments, but a Fender Cyber Twin amp or a Pod Line 6 can emulate vintage amps perfectly. It's undistinguishable to most human ears. 

There's a substantial difference between simulation and emulation IMHO. 

Last but not least, I use a distinctive approach to the word verification because this is actually a philosophy, like the probing example I mentioned. It's not limited to the CAM world. 

But I think at some extent we're discussing semantics. 

By the way, 

This term never gained its due importance in our industry, but verification is an independent animal. 

Software like Vericut, NCSimul, etc are actually CAV systems - Computer Aided Verification

Due to the commoditization of embedded simulation in CAM, it became the norm to take for granted that these independent platforms are simulation software.

The correct classification is CAV. Back in the 80's and early 90's CAM systems could barely plot wireframe.

ModuleWorks and CAMAIX are an example of companies that were created to address the limitations of Mastercam in the realm of machine simulation by the end of the 90's.

Everything related to embedded simulation now is so commoditized that we take for granted everything falls on the same basket. It doesn't. 

Well, 

I might be wrong about it but my understanding of verification is that it is something that can be independently verified, double checked. 

If you are running the code generated by the same engine that creates your g-code, I'd call it plain and simple simulation. 

For the same reason, many companies don't accept inspections made in cnc machines using probes, no matter how modern your equipment is. An accuracy issue on the machine itself and all measurements would be unreliable. 

Hope that it makes sense, 

What your dealer is offering you is a enhancement on a Mastercam PP that will post your code to an intermediate, proprietary language that ModuleWorks machine simulation can parse and get you closer. Basically your post will continue to generate the output you know but will also generate this sort of proprietary NCI to drive Mach sim.
This is not verification. Any issue with your post will be masked using this solution.

There's no free lunch. That's why it's way cheaper. 

One thing we do with cylindrical surfaces for our WFL anti-collision systems is to extrude a polygon on their periphery like an hexagon or if necessary even more sides in order to reduce triangulation on cylindrical surfaces. It reduces triangles drastically without compromising the effectiveness of the anti-collision system.

Best you can do to take advantage of all benefits in the work offset field in Heidenhain is to use CYCL 247 rather CYCL 7 to define workoffsets.

I know this is Gibbs but I thought it would be a great addition to Mastercam.

 

Ouch... You just remembered me how ugly Gibbs UI is...

I was trained on it a few moons ago... functional but POS...

Don´t know how they manage to convince new shops to buy it... Kudos to them for it...

Just saw that you posted a file.. I see what the problem is, and we'll have to get the team that covers transform to change it a bit.  

The issue lies in the fact that you changed the offset number for the 1st toolpath, but not for the TOP plane itself which means that the transform op doesn't actually have a work offset of 0 (like OP #1), it has a work offset of -1 still.  Because a transform op is just a "shell" for the transformed code, it never gets updated even if you go back after the fact and change TOP to 0, the transform op "shell" still is at -1 and there's no way to change that at the moment.  It doesn't practically matter for code generation, but because Link looks at the OP's work offset to determine if you can link, it rejects it.

Neat edge case

Love when science prevails and explains the world around us. 

This file sets the location of cimco edit settings. 

It can be either corrupt or pointing to locations you have no RW rights. 

Best unroll and flattening tool I know is called TopSolid... Great for cylindrical parts but also sheet metal... 

CIMCO NC-Base here....

Also make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date. 

Likely a corrupt vc project? 

We have crazy WFLs and no unexpected crashes.. Using 8.1.1 and 8.1.2

Can you start from a fresh project, and reload your machine and control? 

Yes, 

I remember to have replaced CIMCO NFS by Allegro NFS a decade ago because CIMCO NFS daemon crashed when handling multiple machines simultaneously... Allegro NFS was really nice... 

70,00 bucks only... 

Smit,

I do believe CIMCO will get you an updated version that works in Win10.

In case they are unable to help at this time, there´s CAMBack NFS Server from Evo Solutions - They are DNC makers in Germany.

https://www.evo-solutions.com/en/dnc-tools-software/software-download/nfs-server

CIMCO NFS has been upgraded last year to use NFS 3.x

I think it works on Win 10. 

Send me a private message I can pass you some contacts. 

Also Jason Kramer can help you with this.

Thanks ,

If possible can you share  your best way to doing it with easily ..

 

Ping your reseller... He shall be able to help you all your questions. 

Geez... You're complicating it... 

Pick a 0.4 tool, change it to 0.2 and save... 

If you consider this is taking too much time you're not doing it right. 

By the way, the simple fact that you chimed in here to ask about this makes me wonder about if you got any training... 

3 hours ago, #Rekd™ said:

Daniel are you referring to TopSolid?

Yes.

Up to 2 1/2 axes they´re unbeatable in regards stock recognition. Especially for MillTurn.

For 3 axes, they also have to tesselate like everyone, but from what I saw 5 years ago they´re better than what is being delivered today. I expect that they got it even better in V7.

A good example that shows those who start to develop before others are likely to have it better than competition in the long run.

Missler started with this 16 years ago or more. Stock recognition is only available in competitor systems in the last 3 or something...

Just for the record, Edgecam suffers from the same regeneration issues with their stock models. 

The whole industry suffers from it concerning 3D toolpaths. 

But some suffer a lot less than others. The French are 10 years ahead of everybody else in this field. 

Just saying... 

I'm sure it's a training problem.

Get back to V9.1 ungrateful bastids!
