I have no idea but if you find a file, please share as I have the same issue...
-
I think it's hard coded and not customizable. If you're using a localized release translator can have changed it...
-
I have the same issue with my french localized release. If i use my workspace file with US release, all is OK except RMB context menu which restores to default.
For now, i still wait for 2019 french release hoping i'll be able to migrate from 2018 as i could do it with 2017(French) -> 2018 (french).

Offsets are CD/post dependant. Did you check misc integers of toolpath ?
-
Right clicking and select default sort usually get them back
-
Because values are calculated like that:
F(code) = 1 / (time = 3D distance/linear feedrate)
With multiaxis toolpaths, distance between 2 points is usually very small, so time to move between these 2 points is small too.
Logically: 1 / (small number) = big value

Do you want to save toolpath geometry (lines/arcs) ? If so in classic backplot window there is a button to save to a level.
If you want to make a standalone part verify interactive file I think it's been implemented in 2018 and later.
-
Sure, but I m off this week. I ll try do it on monday.
-
I already had a nice result with multiaxis curve projection for this type of application
-
I think you even not need to click, just locate mouse pointer then type in values if you want.
-
I tried it once using ceramic buttons in Inconel and it worked OK. I only had a few parts to machine (diameter 380 lg50) so I can't say about tool life but there were no notch wear as it could happen with standard toolpaths.
-
Yes, except IMHO, dynamic gnomon performs even better than old rotate command if you're used to.
-
Anyone still tried www.toolsunited.com ?
-
It can be done but as already said, best is to split in 2 ops. (or ask CNC a switch to calc rough passes with computer comp only...)
IMHO it can cause serious issues tweaking a post that way... you can count passes number set in Mastercam GUI but if CNC changes/improves routines in a future release (as it's been done in 2018 if I remember correctly) you probably will need to be careful (I ve already been bitten...)
Another stuff to be aware: what if a user, one day, has great idea to post a toolpath with 'control' comp setting? It will make a crap part and a cutter broken...So don't forget to support that case in your post to output G41/G42.

Yes, Just merge your saved verify .stl file as a mesh into your Mastercam part file, then move it where you need with any transform function (dynamic transform is my preference too) wa
Here is a youtune video showing dynamic transform in action

I do like JParis on a Fanuc robodrill, binding user macro with a M code (M106)
-
I guess you would need to post something like : L M91 Y-1. Z-1. F MAX
-
Did you check your NC program (tool length compensation G code) and tool offset setting in Vericut tool manager?
-
This is usually straightforward, you just need to chain top and bottom wire path. Just pay attention to synchronization as any ruled surface creation. I guess you already got it but you also need a power Mastercam tech file for your machine definition.

This is a 5axis toolpath so it seems ok not to be able to get arcs here. You can get arcs only on standard planes (G17/G18/G19)
-
I guess this is the same issue reported here : http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic27285.aspx

Nethook in my signature can help with chains/points based toolpaths. If there are a lot of levels it should be faster than hide/show all levels process.

On your screenshot it looks like plane origin is associative to an entity. Try to uncheck 'Associative' before zero it.
