Correct. For some reason it automatically adds the Mastercam file and pointlessly removes the (named).stp files that i want it to track..... So i can assume it is buggy or just doesn't do anything really useful for file(rev) management tracking.(red flagging rev changes) or it is still in development.?? Wish list or enhancement Regards

Is this something that integrates with Mastercam? So the multiple users in our production shop that only use MC and import .stp or .x_t files, will be flagged opening Mastercam? Higher ups are tasking me with this issue. Cheers Rick

We Track Rev changes with a CN (Change Notice) currently..... But of course the human error factor has bitten us. Someone setup a production job on the CNC and did not check the the flagged CN for it with the new customer Mach.stp file and did not catch the program changes. So we are hoping to automate it somehow to find a solution. Generally customer sends a new file, it goes through our CN tracker and a CN flags the production job, we Move the current rev data to an obsolete folder and place the new rev data in the main folder. i will look ing the the SVN, Vault as you stated, Thanks a bunch

BTW, i am using MC 2022 if that matters...... Tried that first, but didnt work. I'll mess with it another time, Thank you

This seems like what i am looking for f i can get it to work. Unless it only tracks Mcam file?? I have exhausted all avenues ATM, to get this to work with imported .stp files, Suppose i contact InHouse. (i tried deleting the .stp files in the folder and checking and still isn't detecting change) Thanks for showing me this. I just gotta get it to work i'll try rebooting my system and test it again before i call support (But first must finish a few programs) cheers

Ok, I tried that. I get this So i went to the folder and changed the rev from 2 to 3 Tried that again and it didnt catch the change??

Hey John, when i close and reopen the file, the tracker removes the .stp files that i added to the tracker. It ads the .mcam file automatically, for some reason?? Is there something i need to do differently? I tried adding the folder and the bottom of the page, but it still does not save the .stp files i am testing this with. added .stp and saved macm. save/close MC, then open Any Ideas? Cheers Rick

Thanks John, I will check it out and test it! Cheers Rick

Good Morning. Is there a way to link a solid model imported from a file on our server so that if it were moved to an obsolete folder (rev change etc) , Mastercam would flag the solid or remove it from the MC file? .....(Even if the programmer wasn't using the solid to program with) Any help will be greatly appreciated. Rick

Thanks Ron! I got an email link instantly. Greatly appreciated!

Thanks Tom, I tried it to the same one twice, 4 or 5 days apart. MC2022, when i inquired, it came through almost instantly. Thanks for giving it a go.

Hi Ernie, how longs does it take to get the email link to the download page for 2023? Thanks in advance Rick

Good morning. We are upgrading our p.c's that run drip feed. The software we use is the oldest software out there and our IT guy wants us to upgrade with a multiple license package, say 4-6 seats Could I get a recommendation on a simple to use drip feed that ppl are using. Cimco comes to mind??.. Cheers thanks in advance Rick

Does anyone know how to lock the auto-curser so it stays on (say) center? Or at least have it stay on the last thing select/with lock on. I dont want to have to keep setting it for center every time i use it again in the same session Thanks in advance Rick

Thank you fine Sir, that was quick and very kind of you! Cheers Rick
