Linking imported solid models in Mastercam
Thee Rickster ™ replied to Thee Rickster ™'s topic in Industrial Forum
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 -
Linking imported solid models in Mastercam
Thee Rickster ™ replied to Thee Rickster ™'s topic in Industrial Forum
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 -

Linking imported solid models in Mastercam
Thee Rickster ™ replied to Thee Rickster ™'s topic in Industrial Forum
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 -

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.

MC 2020 Verify backplot issue
Thee Rickster ™ replied to Thee Rickster ™'s topic in Industrial Forum
Nailed it John. Thanks! Anything after the stock model works -
Was using 2018 Now using 2020 now and found something that is 100% repeatable. If I am generating a stock model of my all finished toolpaths, I cannot use verify or backplot until it is finished or force close, restart, start verify and or backplot then start regenerating the stock model. Is anyone else noticing this new behavior? (I cannot go into multi-threading, it will not stop the stockmodel) Thanks in advance Rick

Hi there, if you had installed the latest MC, but hadn’t used it for 3 months, and were using the previous version and made a lot of new ops, tool groups etc. can you just up date the folders again with the new install? will it just over write all the files and add the new ones? thanks in advance Rick

Good Day I dont do alot of tapping unless it is a 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 or 1/2-13, tapped holes in my molds. i need to tap a 1/8-27 npt but i can not find npt taps in the(mil_inch) or ( bigmill_inch) libraries. So i called up the closest pitch in the library, 1/4-28 hoping there is some way to edit it to the tap i need. but there is no way to edit the 28 pitch to 27, so i assume it will strip the threads. Can someone explain how i can do this or send me a saved (.mcam-operations) file that i can import into my tool group? Any help will be greatly appreciated Rick
