I have seen this as well, it usually happens when I copy a HST to change step/tolerance for the finish pass. The path is not dirty but only shows 0.3k etc. and when back plotted nothing is there. Once this happens to the path even if changed back to previous good settings will remain unusable.

Rickster I'm seeing the same thing here with scallop TP tried all suggestions above. Now where do I shut it off at? I know there was a switch in MU1 can't find it in MU2. Edit: Found switch in Control Panel Applet. [ 12-14-2009, 01:40 PM: Message edited by: Troy Gossett Indepak Inc. ]

There is an Oscillate option found in contour type 2D, 3D, etc. It works very well for what you are trying to do... Or am I missing the Question here.

Not to Scale Workaround = screen shot, paste in paint, and print from there.

Delay here as well, not only is the delay annoying it slows works flow tremendously, and gets worse the more tools and operations you have. Also noticing greater delay when adding tools from manager. 64bit here as well.

On this one "Texture Filtering quality set to "High" (was set at "Quality")." High Quality or High Performance?

The only way back I know of is V9 sorry this is a pain and seems to be low on the agenda at this point. [email protected] would be where to direct your complaint, they always get back within a couple of days if they get your email.

I read the tread seemed like there was a chance this was causing your behavior problem, "no, I only have the status bar when MINIMIZED ... it disappears OR goes below my monitor screen ..." What part of mastercam ever shows when minimized?(other than the task bar item)Thought is may have been a terminology issue..Sorry I have had to delete registry keys when funky stuff like this happens to other users here. In Windows 7 click start/ type regedit in search box Networked??? Even if your machine is new when you log on to the network(domain) your previous user information comes into the registry (remote registry) if you have the option try logging into the machine locally. and open MCAM to see if same behavior exists. Good luck!

Right click on task bar, select properties, uncheck auto-hide the taskbar, apply.

What are you trying to transfer the curves to? You can take a screen shot Alt+PrntScrn then paste it in Paint save the file on Photobucket. Picasa, Flicker etc and then insert the image here so we can see what you are doing.

When you backplot are you seeing the linear segements? If not it is most likely your post. There is a line something like " Forces output of I,J,K arc centers (arcoutput:0 " for more info check the helpfile. CParish. Where did you find a limit on arc size? It seems Aerospace makes many parts with tight tolerances that would be much larger than 99"

Yes eventually the same file will be open on both machines at once and then a older will be saved over the other.

If you are progamming in front view you need to define your stock in front view as well there is a box "Stock View" in Stock Setup that should be set too "Front" if that is the view/plane you are machining in. Other wise no matter what you do the verify will look funky when finished.

Use verify on the old file and save as stl, then use that stl as stock to compare the new modified part. HTH

Click the pictures above for larger view, The outline of the part on the print doesn't match the part.
