let me re-think how i said this;
when i pick (phantom) points (center of arcs) to drill too - I pick 8, program my drilling and go to drill and i see i have only 7 or 6 spots to drill to.
ussualy its the first point i picked thats missing.
any one have this problem or know why?
Hello forum,
We are still having problems selecting points (arc centers) to drill too!
Happens repeatably, I select 4 arc center points, choose my drill and sure enough it only has 3 points in the toolpath.
FRUSTRATION, Why?
Anyone else having an issue like this?
Any idea's - I have been programming with Mastercam a long time.
Thanks
I would like to edit a custom tool library i set up years ago.
Things like - delete extra tools - make sure the tool number corresponds to the tool length offset - rearrange tools, etc
Can anyone help by telling me an easy way to edit the tool library?
thanks in advance,
frustrated in Colorado
When I pick my points to drill to and go back and verify many times there not all there.
Usually its the first one.
Anyone else having issues like this?
Know a remedy?

Thanks guys....the only one i understand is the nail or staple idea! a large spike and sledge hammer is what i need.
When i post (and its not a large file) it bogs down and doesn't want to flow or "send" and takes forever. almost like it times out, sometimes all the program makes it there sometimes it doesn't. I will try posting it locally and transfering it.
thanks again, pulling out the large spike now (from my head).

Well boys thanks for the input.
I can;t wait to get my solid box....tired of the hassle with the 3 we have in the shop!
Our IT dept is off site and knows nothing about "shop" computers.
will keep you guys informed
Peace

I'm going to go with the lost in space one!
Mastercam locks up for no apparent reason, then shuts down and the file I was working on is lost off of our server...

Hi guys, it's been a while!
How many of you are having Mastercam V9 system crashes that shut down Mastercam and you loose your file completely?
Has anyone found a solution?
It is happening to me and my crew at least 6-10 times a day on 3 different computers with different video cards. These computers have been stripped and reloaded and still the problem persist's.
HELP! and Thanks in advance.
