Just curious on how to turn off this function that generates an HTML file for tool used and operations during posting. I am not programming for an operator so its something i don't need as i know what the tools are doing in my program. its a redundancy i don't need.
see below
I feel the same way Ron does. Why fix something that is not broken. Why not give the users both options. Every time a new version of MasterCAM comes out we have to relearn the software. By the time we understand the way the new version works a new version comes out and the cycle starts over. Its a different situation when you are testing the software instead of trying to earn a living off of it.
Even the roll outs don't address the new changes. all they do is recycle old tool paths on tried and tested parts.
Using MCAM 2024.
Cant find this button to stop this when opening a part with tool-paths (screenshot from MCAM 2023)
Maybe I am missing something or I am looking in the wrong spot.

Will take it over a Fanuc any day. Code is very simplistic.
Once you get the hang of it you probably will not want to go back to the Fanucs
It is probably linked to another program in the registry or if it is a stp file embedded in a PDF, mastercam will not open it due to security.
if it is in the registry your IT admin has to change it. i assume this is your work computer.
I was under the impression that this sub forum was all about helping members but apparently some can't do that without any criticisms. To each his own.
Thanks to the guys that helped.
If you remembered your file name do a search and see where they ended up and then you can work backwards to recreate the saving issue. This is more a computer issue rather than a MasterCAM issue.
just making sure i am not doing some thing wrong here.
When I try to merge multiple cad files in MCAM2017, Verisurf deletes the original cad model. Is there a setting that I am missing.
I use the holder definition page to create my holders based on actual holders and save them in my tool holder library. I transfer the same to use in VERICUT.
Your MasterCAM reseller should have some one who handles Federal Accounts. A lot of government agencies uses MasterCAM. Your IT dept is just being Paranoid.

change mcamx? to whatever version you want and it will show up in the default program menu so you can associate your step file to it.
