I have 1 library I use most of the time. I copy the tools and label them with different materials. Each tool then has a good starting point for SFM and IMP according to the material.

If you work on the shop floor its best to have a high desk with a tall chair. I go back and forth between the computer and machines and also sit down when programming gets really involved. We custom built all of our desk...

Depending on the depth i use: Helix bore to rough Circle mill with wear to finish I've had my fair share of scrap using the lead in/out options on a contour

Could use some help getting this part programmed. The slot is where I need help. SLOT.mcam

Thanks Pete! In the past the registration would happen automatically. Here lately I have had to manually register after every install/update. We have 17 seats so its not that fun...

Can you get that update to register the swdocumentmgr.dll during the install?

I had issues also... Our reseller updated our files and all is good now.

Its been fun going around and registering that swdocumentmgr.dll 16 times... then 16 times after the mastercam2019-update2-patch... not impressed

On the "leads" you can set may lead in lead out options. On a hole diameter I use "line and arc/arc and line" with a radius value. On a straight line on and off I usually extend the lines, it makes it much easier to chain also... -
Thanks for the reply Jay. I didn't think it was possible...

Jay, Is it possible to lock in a position doing it the new way? With the XYZ boxs you could lock a value in... Is locking possible now?

Your not alone... We have about 30 Mastercam users here and not 1 person likes the new "hit spacebar" The XYZ boxs were better...

Time for a workstation? Is my Laptop aging? How can I tell?

I would agree with Matthew... Many times its software related. Here at WMM I manage our network with 15 Mastercam computers. Most of our newer machines are Dell XPS i7's running in the 3.5 GHz range with 16 GB ram. We have been upgrading these Dells with the NVIDIA Quadro K2200 graphics card. This is about a $1200 computer setup and its been working very well for us. Maybe a setup like this could be a good option for you? -
You can put the level manager on the right click in X9

File opens fine on my pc.

In your system configurations settings on the solid import/attempt to heal solids during import? If I had that checked Mastercam would crash on some files...

Why are you squashing? If your looking to squash geometry to a z level for chaining a profile... Create/ Silhouette Boundary X-Form project for other stuff...
