You had this setting unchecked and it ran inside out anyway??

I've got 5 programmers running X23 and we are having no problems like this. There must be a setting wrong somewhere Check this page of your Control Def See if the x22 and x23 settings match These setting should also accurately reflect the rapid motion behavior of your machine. This screen shot is set for dogleg rapids.. and Verify might show false crashes if your machine rapids in a straight line Inversely, if your machine doglegs and you have this set for straight line rapids Verify could fail to show actual crashes and gouges on the machine. Also, open your Verify settings and set them to always use the 5axis engine

If you open a good 2022 file in 2023, does it run correctly?

That machines has outstanding crash detection If the video is to be believed, the center drill tip insert was crushed but the drill body was undamaged Impressive, if true Titan has some really interesting stuff on their videos, but they I wish they didn't act like such a bunch of damned fools doing their presentations. They act like they are talking to a pack of 14 year old skateboard stoners

I don't know, but I think they are using axis substitution and custom post

look at the Arc page in the Control Definition Compare your 2022 Control Def to the 2023 Control def. also compare the tolerance page in System Config and the Filter page of your 2022 and 2023 machining operations

I briefly worked at a shop that built V8 racing engines from billet Their main programmer used a seat of 2.5X Gibbs running on an old Apple. We had several seats of Mastercam and used Port Expert for the 5X head machine, He absolutely refused to even look at it. He had a whole closet full of dead Apples and spent his weekends prowling the swap meets looking for Apple parts, He spent more time keeping his last Apple running than he did programming.

I started with Anicam 1.0 in the early 90's The system was obsolete and I bought it from Machining Time Savers for $300. It ran on an NEC workstation, 13" four color monitor, two 8" floppy drives and 64K of ram. One disc contained the executable, the second was storage. There was no mouse .. everything was driven by key board commands. The 8" floppies wore out and had to be replaced on a regular basis. Eventually I reached a point where 8" floppies were unobtainable, and I had to move on. I moved up to TekSoft and an IBMXT with a mouse... that was a huge deal at the time TekSoft turned into ProCad ** ProCad97 was a crash fest, 98 was worse so I purchased Mastercam V7 in 1998 I bought a seat of SolidWorks in 2000 and still have it on maintenance. I don't use it nearly as much as I used to and my skill level with SW is not what it used to be. In 2013 my employer purchased a seat of hyperMIll which I use for roughing impellers I still finish them in Mastercam though.

Occasionally.. it helps to keep tool lists and stock setups separate

I'll do this for simple parts that are going through several machines Our big parts are too big in file size and number of operations to do this

Yes..and frequently a different machine definition

My training has been 47 years at Hard Knocks U.

I use a separate Machine Group for each operation. Been doing it this way for years

Weird.. I've been using X2024 for months without seeing this. Nearly every file I do has thread milling. Could it have something to do with the origin of the tool holder model Mine are always on the top on the holder

We have a Predator DNC system here feeding about 50 machines from new state of the art machines to 50 year old antiques There are lots of problems and I'll bet it costs us a half million a year in downtime getting files to and from machines A lot of it is our fault and a some of it is Predators. I really don't like the software we have to use. I tried to get them to look at Cimco when we bought Predator, but the decision had already been made. I don't know if Cimco would be any better in this environment, but it worked well for me in some of the smaller places I've worked.

the entire files runs exactly as it should

The 2024 tool was acting weird so I opened the Too, Manager and elected Edit Tool Assembly Everything looked OK and the 2024 tool functioned correctly

I've been using it for production work since the Public Beta release No problems to date

I've got to agree with this I have my personal seat of Mastercam customized the way I like it and it's been this way for 20 years. If I sit down in front of a default install with no 3D mouse I cannot use it. You'd think I'd never seen or used Mastercam before

Pro Tip set overlap to Pi*D where D= finish Ø of the hole - the Ø of the tool you'll get a spring pass without the lead in/out

When I was in college in the mid 70's all my engineering classes (physics, chemistry, fluid mechanics etc etc) were in taught in metric. Our professors assured us that the US would be 100% metric by the early 80's at the latest. I guess they meant the 2080's, not the 1980's Once you get used to it, metric is a much simpler and more intuitive system to work with.

Now you can leave Tool Plane and Construction Plane alone and mass edit ONLY the WCS Before MC2024 you had to edit each operation individually and if you needed to do this with a file containing 3 or 400 operations, that was half a day's work. Now you can do it in 30 seconds

I don't think we've ever been able to mass edit ONLY the WCS

I've been using PC1 for some production work with no issues and the update to the formal release was uneventful For me the best new feature is the ability to use Edit Common Parameters to mass edit only the WCS in a group of toolpaths
