Is there a way to set levels, so when mastercam opens a "new" file, that lets say the first 5 levels are named already by default?

totally understand but I cant seem to get any part of the geo under the "cutting" portion to be "non-cutting"

Is there a way to build a assembly for a slitting saw (not on an arbor) where the semi-flush nut that is holding the saw to the holder is non cutting geometry? I have the holder built (without the nut) and the saw built, when I put the together, I cannot figure out how to have the nut under the saw as non cutting geometry. any help is much appreciated

first time I have had this issue.... MCAM2022 machine: Haas UMC1000ss toolpath: 2D high speed (equal scallop) with collision checking, tilt to avoid gouge is on. when the the tool (table) tilts to avoid, the table is rotating as well to avoid, at this transition, the tool is gouging the part. I have tried different things to fix to no avail. I am reworking at bonding fixture from a outsourced company and am trying just to remove about .005" from multiple surfaces from this fixture. thank you for any insight

after a little digging I found this at mastercam.com help center, but not sure exactly how to execute... here

sorry for being naive....mothership?

HSS drills will work in a pinch, carbide is preferred, diamond coated dreamers are best for drilling. I would try to helical bore holes in carbon fiber making sure to support the material around the holes for best results. there will more than likely be some delamination however you produce the hole, keeping it to a minimum is the goal. Use a solid carbide multi flute c-sink tool on the backside of hole to clean any delamination. good luck, P.S. use plenty of air on the tool

I have pretty much dialed in our setup sheets the way I like to see them for the shop floor, only thing I cannot figure out is why it will not transfer manual operations from MC2022 toolpaths to the setup sheet. I sometimes put operator notes to tell guys to move clamps or whatever, the NC code shows the comments, the setup sheet does not. Any of you gurus know what I am missing. Thanks

this one has me stumped.... I am building a slitting saw arbor/holder in MC2022 tool manager, this issue I am stuck on is the nut for the slitting saw. I can build the holder but how do I handle the nut that holds the saw by the ID? I could build in the saw and the nut, but that would cause a problem during verify, MC & Vericut would consider the saw as part of the holder and cause a "collision" only other option I see would to leave the nut out of the equation and attach the saw as an assembly, but this option will eliminate the nut, thus not representing the actual tool in MC 7 Vericut.

thank you

MC2022 setup sheet question. when using MC2021 and creating setup sheets, the image it captured from the screen would show up in color on the setup sheet, updating to MC2022, with all the same settings, the image captured show on the setup sheet black & white. I have looked at as many settings that I can think of, anyone have a solution for this or experiencing the same?

That is it! thank you!

is this a bug? MC2021 latest release Randomly solids become un-selectable when using the Analyze Dynamic function. I have to save and restart MC to be able to use this function, what is the deal?

I am going to build a holder library for every Techniks holder in our 2 machine shops, I have every .stp file from Techniks for every holder that they make and will pick and choose what we are already using and add as we purchase more. Here is my question for the guys that program not only for yourself and your shop, and the machinist on the floor, how do you like to see the information given to the machinist and operators on a setup sheet or however you present setup info? 1. As described on the actual holders: SYIC 22915-4.72RR 2. as described on the websites: 22915-2.5-CAT40xSLN3_8_-2-1_2_ 3. In more common terms: 1/4" solid endmill holder 3" gauge length 4. some other way I am leaning as described on the holder so there is no confusion on what holder to use.

Never seen this before when trying to use the toolpath verify.... MC2020 5 axis - G83 - Peck drill toolpath
