    That sounds awesome!

    Absolutely, I hadn't noticed that as an option until @bird2010 pointed it out, Every time I start to think I've got a pretty good understanding of MC's capabilities, I'm reminded of why my tag is what it is.

    Thanks, this was what I asked for & it works well. This is even better! Thank you very much!

    I don't understand this at all. When I select Toolpath editor it opens this dialog: Then, when I select Edit Point, this dialog opens: How do I apply changes to all depths? I know I can select Section and, after clicking the green check, it will prompt me to choose the end point of my feedrate change. But it will only apply it to the first depth, and that's the rub that's got me flummoxed.

    I have a contour path, with depth cuts, that I'm trying to change feed speeds in a section of the path, using Toolpath editor. I can't figure out how to apply the feed changes to both depths of cut. Can anyone provide some direction for me?

    The inbuilt script editor isn't in 2022 though, correct? Can it be added?
  9. So not a Guru
    Hmm, there's a NET-Script folder in 2023 but not 2022. We are not moving to 2023 or 2024 due to issues that adversely effect our programming, mostly issues with viewsheets. So, I guess we'll just try to figure out the VBScripts. I'm going to try putting the script in the shared VB folder & see if that works.
  10. So not a Guru
    Thank Mick. I've watched a few of the videos on the Mastercam site, but I haven't run across any that let me know what folders to put the scrips into. I'll probably be using both the VBScript, for older files (we don't uprev proven files here), and NET-Scripts for our 2022 & newer files.
  11. So not a Guru
    I see that the NET-Scripts appears to be a prefered add-on method, what folder should I locate these examples? How do I get the NET Script add in?

    I'm trying to learn how to use the 2017, that is a 2018 app, veiwsheets example, the overview says to install to the default Mastercam location, but it doesn't say where that is. Am I supposed to unzip the file into a specific folder, like the shared VB folder?
  13. So not a Guru
    NM, I found the instructions.
  14. So not a Guru
    Once I've opened Visual studio, in administer mode, and downloaded a C# example from the Mastercam site, how do I open the project? Do I need to unzip the example into a specific folder? Or do I just unzip it wherever I like & open the folder from there?
  15. So not a Guru
    Thanks, I'll try playing with it.
  16. So not a Guru
    Can I do this using Visual Studio? Or is this something done in Mastercam, like a chook?
  17. So not a Guru
    Is it possible to create a dialog box that has the viewsheets in it? I have files that can have 70+ viewsheets & it can take quite a while to scroll back & forth between them.

    Throwing away dollars to save dimes, doesn't sound as efficient as he believes!
  19. So not a Guru
    My experience is exactly the same. I've also made a lot of custom form tools from tool steel flat stock, mounted into fly cutters. But it's been many, may moons since that was required of me.

    Rob, at QC, says the line auto Z will be returned to default unchecked in 2025. So that's a plus.
  23. So not a Guru
    And the response to the line issue. Hi Zeke. That is working as it should. Because Create -> line is a function, Mastercam does not save any settings in that, or any function. For example, if you create an arc, or a rectangle, and then shut down Mastercam, when you restart Mastercam, the dimensions you entered for the arc, or rectangle in the first session do not reappear in the restarted session. So, since it was always unchecked in previous versions, it now being checked, as the default, is "...working as it should.". What an unmitigated crock of sh*t.

    Here is the response for the undo disappearing feature. Hi Zeke, This is a known issue and is logged ad D-53659. I will add you name to the defect. In the steps to reproduce the defect, if you press UNDO a second time, the geometry will come back.
  25. So not a Guru
    Ok, I've submitted both to QC.
