Now when I use the CAMplete plugin out of Mastercam 2023 it takes me to CAMplete 2024. Not what I wanted. Life was much simpler back when I used a post processor.
I just installed CAMplete 2024 and selected the 2024 Mastercam plugin. It didn't work for me. I checked in add/remove programs and the installer says the plugin is installed. I'll mess around a bit more to see if I can get it working. Just came here to check here to see if anyone else was having trouble.
If there are certain areas of the post you want to edit the post writer may be willing to remove that section from the .psb file. Our Okuma post had the drilling section in the .psb file and I ask our reseller if we could possibly get the drill section in the .pst file. They were able to get it removed for me so I can now edit our drilling section.
If you can get away with a 1/16" radius you can buy cutters with that profile. https://www.harveytool.com/products/runner-cutters
I would think someone would sell metric ones but in a quick google search I didn't find any.
In the configuration file uncheck the box for automatically calculate HST defaults to stop the step over from changing in dynamic milling. As others mentioned checking the box for lock feedrates will prevent the feedrates from changing.
I haven't installed Verisurf since Mastercam added the hole axis. The hole axis was very useful but everything I've worked on recently has been in solids so I haven't needed it. After seeing a few mentioned pierce point I looked up what it does. I could have used that a few times over the years. I might have to start installing it again.
Another way is to use the toolpath editor to adjust the lead out. I just used it a week ago to dynamic rough a undercut with a keyseat cutter and got exactly what I wanted. The one downside to the toolpath editor is that it locks the toolpath. If you need to make any changes you have to unlock it then go thru the process again to reedit the retract point.
We have the same problem. As a partial solution I have it set up to kick all users off in the middle of the night so each day there are licenses available in the morning.
Directions below to stop then restart the nethasp in the middle of the night to close any open Mastercam seats
Save the following as a .bat file on the computer with the Nethasp
NET STOP "HASP Loader"
ping -n 30 127.0.0.1
NET START "HASP Loader"
exit
Then go to the task scheduler start/all programs/accessories/system tools/task scheduler
Create a basic task and for action select start a program and then select the .bat file you saved
Once the task is created it needs to be edited to run as administrator
Find the task you created in the task scheduler library and right click and select properties
Check the box for "Run with the highest privileges"
