That's exactly the behavior I'm experiencing.

I've restarted, have all updates installed. We've waited till now to switch, because the toolpath manager Properties is so wonky, and hoping that the multiple updates would fix things. Of course MC has now moved on to the coming 2025, so these issues will never be fixed. It is becoming more & more frustrating to use. I'm retiring in October, so it's only a short term issue for me. I just hate it for my coworkers.

If I create geometry, then dynamically transform it, then click undo, Mastercam deletes the geometry, rather then undoing the move. Can anyone verify this behavior? Also, how do I get the check box, for automatically determine Z depth, in the "Line Endpoints" dialog to stay unchecked?

It did for me too, in MC 2022, but not so in MC 2024

How do I make this stick? I select it, but the next instance of MC opened & reverts to visibility off.

Yikes! I haven't noticed that, but I have not used that function in the latest couple of MC versions.

It only exports the stickout of the tool in the holder it was assigned to when you saved the default. I have no idea why, it's just another "feature"

Nope.

Thanks for this. I've never known this option existed. As we are just switching to 2024, it's a tool we'll employ as standard since it seems to be a new improved bug/feature for versions going forward. If the plane is associated with geometry (we usually associate planes to a point), will it still move when the geometry is moved? I say bug/feature because if it hasn't been fixed by now, and MC is already moving onto the next version, history shows it'll never be fixed in the current version. This is exactly the type of thing that @crazy^millman & others point out as a frustrating pattern with the software.

Can I copy my defaults file in my "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Shared Mastercam 2024\mill\Ops" directory & rename it with a name for each of my machines, then set that as the defaults for each machine in the Machine Definition? Or will this screw something up? We would like to have different defaults for our routers & our machining centers.

My 1st experience with MC was X8, our reseller did not cover the toolpath manager right-click menu, so it was a couple years before I even knew it existed. Not throwing shade on our reseller, they are great, just explaining what led to my selection preferences.

The other way around. I've never used the right-click menu for toolpaths.

Control Definition - Tolerances

Wow! you & @CNC CHRIS just opened my eyes to a lot of toolpaths. I have always assumed that the toolpaths available by right-clicking in the toolpath manager, were the same as those available in the ribbon bar. There are a number of paths I was completely unaware of!

We do a lot of router work here. Our 1st operation is to drill 4 each relocation holes, at each corner of the sheet, using a 1/4" drill. If the sheet is going to get work done on the bottom side, we have the drill go 1/4" deep into the spoilboard before the flip. That way we can relocate the sheet using a couple of dowel pins. This allows the operators to set their WCS wherever it is convenient for them (we always use the top of the spoilboard as z0 for sheet work).

What is this controlling?

Post the deburr op as a subprogram.

Yeah, we gotta switch to 2024. We've all got it installed on our boxes, but haven't had time to adjust to the interface changes. Maybe next month.

Yeah, I've tried that and had it work...sometimes. Othertimes, like the project I'm on today, even restarting the PC doesn't help.

Often I find it impossible to project curves to a surface. I ensure that the correct plane is active, using 2022. When I click on the surface I get no preview, when I click the green checkmark button, nothing happens; no errors, no projected geometry, it's as if I had never opened the project dialog. It doesn't happen every time and I've been unable to determine what sets it off. Have any of you experienced this? If so, is there a work around? I generally find different ways to get what I need done, but it always a lot more work!

I heard, from a guy on this forum, that you are the meanest person on this forum.

How do I enable display vectors, in the backplot options, in the 2024 interface? NM I got it.

This is for the inspection department, not at the machine. We are happy using Renishaw probing during the machining process. But the inspection data is required to be independent of the production data.

We use Verisurf to inspect our parts with our Faro arm. I like it because it is integrated into Mastercam, which we are all comfortable with. We also use InspectionXpert to create the AS9102 reports that are required by our biggest customer. Both of these softwares were purchased together many years ago (2015?), the reason was that integrated reports could be generated directly through Verisurf, using the parameters set in InspectionXpert for the parts. The trouble we have is that Verisurf is no longer a partner with Inspection Expert, so the XML file from InspectionXpert no longer works in Verisurf (despite Verisurf still having the "InspectionXpert" report as an option in their report interface). I'm wondering if anyone knows whether PCDIMIS can be integrated into Mastercam? Or is there another option y'all use that might be a better fit?

Where are the option settings for Collision checking in 2024?
