Due to the specific of my work I need to
reverse chain together with change side on many toolpathes simultaneously
.
In some 5 axes job it may be 100 toolpathes from 150 total .
And many times a week .
It takes lots of time .
If someone can write a C-hook for me ,that I could do it in one strike with preselected in operation manager toolpathes I will be very gladfull
Best regards
I sent this to QC 5 years ago ,and got no answer
I composed a yeller about VERY BIG PROBLEM -
It started all good ,it was a sensation
I drew a big pot on the Mastercam station !
I drew it in Solids and painted it green
And put in some honey on level 13 .
I opened the same file the next early morning
The pot was all there ,but where`s the honey ?
I`m yelling from hunger and desperation
I `m seeking for help and consolation
(And CNC Software must pay me some compensation )
Still no honey
Same TH!NG here .
Drives me crazy .
Happens every time,when I have changed chain tolerance from 0.002 mm to 0.02 .
MasteRcam forgets the chaining TOLERANCE and naturally the regen fails .
It can happen with both chains ,yet most of times with the upper chain
I'm talking about creating a custom tool with the holder as part of the tool. Not using the holder.MCX file. Sorry.

Hi ,folx !
Me and Elad are going to be there (@ Hannover ) from
15 till 20 of September .
Who `s planning to be there and wish to drink with us couple of beers ?
Check the Path variable ( helped me once with multiple Mcam X on computer )
Check the pathes inside configuration file too

If they took every third IT guy, put him against a wall and shot him, it would be a good start
IMO
