X+ for Mastercam 2024 is ready.

I've added a new template for tool lists "CARDS". (it can be used for 2020+ as well)

This is how it looks like.

Is there a way to choose the location that the setup sheet is saved in? I would like to be able to save them in my part folders so that everything is together.

once the report is created press Ctrl+S to save it wherever you like. you could also save it as PDF and have all in one file.

Is it possible to personalize the X+ setup sheet per login?  For Example.  Change the LOGO of the setup sheet to reflect the users login.

 

Thanks in advance.

yes, you can.

The user name can be chosen from the header parameter.

With Javascript you can then link a CSS file of your choice to the sheet according to the user name.

This is just one solution.

I'm getting duplicate tools on one pc and not others, installed from same .exe and using the same .xpt file on both gets same results. It looks to be pulling from every operation.

 

 

...It looks to be pulling from every operation.

You are probably using the setup sheet function. This is operation based.

Instead use the tool sheet function.

The fixture import feature of X+ will work as always.

In MC 2023 the whole interface for the machine group has changed.

This could probably cause some new glitches in MC 2023. And hopefully this will be cleaned up before release.

However, I guess this has nothing to do with X+

 Hi guys,

X+  for Mastercam Public Beta 2023 is now available.

https://www.gmccs.de/downloads_x+.php

A new setup sheet template “grouping_example” has been added to X+ 2023.

Among other things, it demonstrates how you could group your report by the Groupname (or any other) parameter.

However, this template also works with previous X+ versions!

Watch this video to see what it looks like.

As always, I welcome comments and suggestions.

The pagefile is used to store memory contents when the system is out of usable RAM.  Reserving RAM to use as a RAMdisk for the pagefile would be counterproductive.

You will probably be right about that

If you have plenty of RAM and not a SSD, you could try to use a RAMDisc and map pagefile.sys and %temp%\Mastercam to it.

Am I doing something wrong?

It's not you. It's the the software

Automatic mode should always center align the part on the table.  A manual translation should be relative to the automatic position.

X+ 2021 beta 2 (for Mastercam 2021 PB2)

But in 2020 backplot is so bad when we put our massive, finish files on the screen, that mastercam completely chokes out, and I have to wait 10-15 seconds to get the system to respond. So the 2 of us (TerryH and I) who do the largest parts where we work, moved back down to 2019 because backplot is minimally better in that version. In the past X versions when backplot would choke out, I could simply mess with the  "Number of entities for dynamic rotation" setting in configuration and get things to work again. I tried briefly in 2019/2020 and couldn't seem to alleviate the problem at all.

In 2021 PB1 backplot is much faster again. Hopefully they will provide an update for 2020. It's a pain in 2020. I do understand if a customer moves back to 2019.

X+ 2021 beta 1

Here you go!

autoregen 2021 PB1

usually this is an option and musst be activated in your controll. However, if you don't have this option at all, you can achive a dynamic workoffset with a macro.

I highly recommend to use the migration wizard!
