Mastercam Core Certification Has anyone done this? and why? Normally when I hire the true colors come out on Day 1.

Alt PrtScn, then paste into Word or MSPaint.

SAME.

2021.... So... trying to explain to a greenish programmer... Thread-milling multi passes leaves half the amount per side VS Contour leaving the exact amount per side. ffs Its wrong.. it should be the same as contour... smh.

Finally getting around to installing 2022. historically I have copied our operation defaults over and ran with it. (its a 2018 ver.) I'm thinking I should just modify the 2022 vanilla one that it came with. There's probably some stuff in there I don't have in the 2018, or should I just copy the old one from 2021 over and just go with that? Whats your best method of changing the defaults? (retract heights ... top of stock, lead in and outs, ect.) I used to just modify it from here. Is this still the proper way?

Back in 2016 I used the "convert" to update all our Mastercam files to mcam2017. only like 25thousand files. all the way back to X8 2002. It was for the better. had to do it in stages by year. and keeping a backup. went easier than you would think. didn't lose anything. Our IT guy freaked. LOL only like a few months later. apparently he used to "audit" the files ( watching who did what and when. ) fixed his xxxx as well. Did it because mcam was stopping all support for I think was X9 and older.

I always created curve all edges. then shift chain, then right click change color. Never thought of your way tbh. then again there is 20 different ways to do the same thing in MasterCam for almost everything.

don't forget to disable the Lead In/Out if you are doing that.

Expect that it will chip while milling, and delaminate when ground. condolences.
