oooh, thanks! The right clicking works! But I've got another one. If I want to place a circle, set it to whatever diameter, then shift-click for a relative location, type in the X Y coordinates then hit enter (keyboard) the circle will appear then dissappear just as fast. It will always do this unless instaad of the enter button you must click the green checkmark. From then-on it will work but ONLY AFTER clicking the green arrow. Sounds like a bug. Does anyone else have this problem?

How about keeping the chaining cursor on??? Every time I pull down the chain cursor then select the geometry, I have to go back & pull the chain down again & again to coninue chaning more geometry. Why doesn't it lock in place until the user decides how the cursor is to be used?

Try this... right-click on the desktop, Properties,Settings, Advanced, Troubleshhot tab, & move Hardware Acceleration slider all the way to the left. If it solves the problem then move the slider one notch to the right only & try Mastercam again. Keep doing this until you find the fullest setting that will work.

Hey Mike, It's Rich from Insulfab. Remeber where we went into Machine Def & changed the A to a C & nothing happened? Well changing the use_md_rot_label : no$ to a yes$ makes it work now. I guess they have the switch off by default. Thanks

Ok this is weird .. I'm answering my own questions. I found a better way to make this work. Undo what I posted earlier & change use_md_rot_label : no$ to use_md_rot_label : yes$ Then under Machine Definition, Machine Base, Table Group, double click VMC A-Axis & change General Info, Machine Coordinate to C. Hope this helps others.

Ok, under this #Rotary Axis Label options I changed srot_x "A" to srot_x "C" It seems to work. Don't know if it's the "correct" way to do it though. thanks all

Oh, I do have the post but will it work for 3 & 4 axis without the 5 axis option? Thanks

I don't see that in the Generic 4X Mill Post. I don't have the 5 axis option as I don't do any 5 axis work nor have a 5 axis machine. Is there someplace else to make this change?

If you're used to changing the Plane with the small red drop-down icon, then sometimes change it using the Planes button at the bottom of the screen, the icon at the top of the screen never changes to show the new plane selection. Better to get rid of that drop-down Planes selection until they fix it.

I'm using X2 Generic Mill 4-axis VMC machine definition Generic 4X Mill Control & post. I have a VMC 3 axis Robodrill with a 2 axis/tilt table. Rotation is C, tilt is A. When I post, the rotary axis comes out as A and I need it to be C. Is that done in the Machine Definition or Control file or the Post? The way CNC software talks, everything should be able to be configured in the Mach Def & Control screens but this seems to not be true. I already tried changing the Machine Coordinate from A to C under Machine Def Manager then double clicking VMC A-Axis but this didn't work. Thanks
