I saw this problem not long ago and didn't think much of it.
butlermere replied to huskermcdoogle's topic in Industrial Forum
I'm relatively new to Mastercam, 3 yrs on lathe, and after using it for a while am of the opinion that Mastercam is ultra cautious when it comes to forcing a regen whenever you do 'any' change(even changing back to an original entry). The changes done by the post is another area to bear in mind. So an independant simulation, Vericut perhaps, is the closest safety check available short of running line by line on the machine!! Just my 2cents worth. -
Shift multiple levels to new levels
butlermere replied to Jeremy Grigsby's topic in Industrial Forum
Oh, I missed the part you wanted to keep the levels separated instead of moving to new level. I think only renumbering levels individually will preserve the names. Sorry. -
Shift multiple levels to new levels

I would think you would need to use the selection tool, 'all' or 'some' to pick out by levels. Then right click levels and choose either copy or move + select to create/name the new level. That should allow moving or copying selective levels to another new level. Try that . -
P.S. Your effectivly creating geometry to drive your part off tool down.

Point toolpaths seems to only give you feed change option wheras if you create some finish toolpath geometry, in sections, and chain it for finish tool path. Then click on geometry chain to pop up chain manager.Right click your chain and choose 'change at point'. Then you follow the prompts to select the section to change and this will give your options for speeds/feed. Don't forget your changes stays in effect onwards.
