Has it moved?  Retired?

Mcam is really slow for some reason.  Im running a fast Dell Alienware with plenty of power.  Codemeter keeps coming up on a "permission to make changes" pop up and the bottom left of the screen always says "allocating memory".

Is anyone having the same probs?

I'm hoping to find a file that has the list of commands along with their descriptions....basically the info thats given in the Customize Keyboard mapping screen when you select all commands and then click a command from the right window.  The description area populates with the command info.

I'm getting my feet wet in MW...or MachSim as the Mastercam reps like to call it.  I want to make a step by step manual for machsim setup within mastercam and machine building inside machsim and put it up here.   There are NO comprehensive manuals that describe how to do all of that so right now its a figure it out on your own kind of deal along with a 'nudge' here and there from this forum.   I emailed MW in Germany and they told me to go to the MCAM reps.  The MCAM reps said that 'they are working on it'.

Yep.  I changed my start point and that fixed it.  Thanks jlw!

Hello group.

This is my first Morph multi-axis toolpath.  As soon as I backplot the operation, mastercam shows my holder inside the part and in an oddball plane.  Please see picture.  I see this  occasionally but have never been able to figure out what causes it.   

Can someone please take a look at it and tell me what may be causing it?    Thanks in advance for any help.

I just got off the phone with mcam tech support.  He remoted into my pc and migrated in my RMB and keymapping.  This is what he did:

1) Renamed my mcam2019 to my mcam2019.old

2) Went into the advanced configuration and reset dialog positions.

3) Went back through the migration wizard (Advanced) and checked only the Configuration files and the Workspace files.

4) Unchecked all but Mastercam 2018

5) Chose Update and Replace

When the migration was finished, everything was back.  ...which was great because I have a lot of custom keyboard commands that take a lot of time to re-map.

Hope this helps.

I got the same result as SlaveCam.  I had to completely remake my right-mouse-button and all of my Key mapping when going to 2018. Guess I'll have to do it again with 2019. Its a drag that the configuration apparently  doesn't migrate over even when you make certain that CONFIG is checked when doing the migration wizard.

take your nudge and shove it

Dude.  All you had to say was 1)merge in your saved stl. 2)Use dynamic xform to relocate the stl. 3) use save some to save out the stl and rename it. 4)be sure that your in top wcs.

But no.  You dont work that way.  

I do.  If someone is having a problem and I know the answer from A-Z I tell em and help em.  You and others here just toss em a vague clue and tell them to figure the rest out on there own.

I hate that sht.

Find a YT video on transforming CUT STL FILES FROM VERIFY using dynamic transform.

I use dynamic transform all the time for any all entities just like the command describes.  NOWHERE does it say 'THIS IS HOW YOU RELOCATE A CUT MODEL FROM VERIFY'.

You get where I'm coming from dude? There used to be a STL_XFORM.dll chook to do it all.  Now its gone.   Where does it say whats replaced it?  Where does it say "ok, heres how you move a STL file using Dynamic Transform?

>>>that was supposed to read more experience THAN you btw.

Why should even have to be covered.  Learn to use the software and these things will become self evident.  I learned how to do this on my own.  

Idiot.  Yeah.  Just give a guy a high end CAM system and say figure it out.  I'm calling BS on you 'just learning this on your own".  You, me and everyone here knows that you sought help...and got it from people that had more experience from you.  

I looked on youtube.  ZERO videos on using Dynamic Transform to move cut stock from verify.  You got one?  Put it up.

$100 says that that is never covered in verify or anywhere except in some fkg class.

what a fkd up way to relocate cut stock.

ok.

the first thing is merge in the stl right?

Pls talk to me.

will try dynamic

Please help me here bro.

Why Why Why?

I need to rotate and move a stl file around a coord sys that is relative to my tombstone!  WTF?

It used to be Alt+O

seems a PITA to me....

thanks for the help

I miss STL_XFORM.dll

oh well....

Its been a while.  Seems like there used to be a c-hook or something.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
