  1. To expand on the idea I have been thinking how to set n sequence to match tool number and leave sequence on.

    Example

    N1

    N2

    N0016 T16 M6

    N3

    N4

    N0216 T16 M6 (WITH A TOOL COUNTER IF A TOOL IS CALLED UP TWICE- COMMON AT OUR SHOP)

    N5

    N6

    N0022 T22 M6

    etc.

  2. I created a custom reamer in Mastercam using a DXF file of the tool profile, but when I go to sim or verify I get an error saying

     

    "Cannot access tools saved in references files or levels.

     

    Mastercam cannot accurately represent these tools. Stored tool profiles or a default tool will be substituted.

     

    Do you wnat to continue?"

     

    If I choose yes, it just shows a cylinder that's the same size of the biggest portion of the tool.

     

    I tried picking "Custom" tool type and "Center Drill" since it's the closest in shape.

    It's a boss port reamer so I need to be able to sim it to make sure it's doing what I want it to do..

     

    I attached a couple screenshots for reference. Any help is appreciated!

     

    p.s. I'm on X9
