2022 This is becoming very frustrating. We use viewsheets extensively (as the graphics for setup sheets), the drafting entities randomly disappear from the screen, only in created viewsheets, not in the main viewsheet (viewsheet 1). The entities are there if you run screen statistics, but they are not displayed, eventually they will comeback, but we have no idea what brings them back. It is not universal, in the same file, some viewsheets will do this & some won't. And is random AF, Close the file & reopen it and completely different sheets will be effected. If anyone else is experiencing this and has found a solution, please enlighten us.

Agreed

Fixed it for you. :)

This is a fascinating read! Thanks

Those feed codes look like G93 values, but I only see a G94 call.

Yes, but you can triple-click to select the link, right click & open it in a new tab. At least in Firefox, I rarely use any other browser, so I can't speak to how they work.

This happens to me in 2022 often. Usually when I create the 1st Optirough path in a file, then save the file. It goes dirty, I regen it & save it, then all is well. It is irritating, but since CNC has moved to 2023 you can be sure it won't be fixed.

I'm pretty sure they come from your Machine definition.

You can still drag & drop pictures, you just have to drag them into the correct spot.

Does he have his config set to bring solids in as surfaces? Like this.

Doesn't Harvey offer Helical's coatings? The AlTiN coating works well. We've used it on a few jobs here with good success.

Never mind, I figured it out. The path has to be in quotes if there are spaces in it. I just realized that too. I hadn't noticed the space in my username

I'm not very good with this, it seems like it should be fairly straight forward, but I'm doing something wrong. I created a couple of folders, with copied files in them, on my desktop to try it out and made this batch file: @ECHO copy C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\from_here\Zeke.config C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\to_here\Zeke.config copy C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\from_here\Mastercam.Workspace C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\to_here\Mastercam.Workspace copy C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\from_here\mcamx.config C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\to_here\mcamx.config copy C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\from_here\mcamxm.config C:\Users\Zeke Radford\Desktop\to_here\mcamxm.config PAUSE But when i run it I get "The system cannot find the file specified." on each line. Any idea what I'm missing?

Is it possible to create multiple MC configurations? I'm going to start training one of our operators to program. I use a modified configuration; custom RMB, background colors & gradients, keyboard shortcuts etc. Since he's going to be practicing with HLE at home, I would like to train him with the default setup. Is it possible to save a couple of files or folders in a safe location that I can reload to change the configs back & forth?

Glad I was able to help. Sorry it took so many tries, it was a long time ago that I modded that post and I'm getting senile. :)

In the ptlchg_com postblock After this line: if tseqno = 2, n$ = t$ Add this line: if tseqno = 3, n$ = opmgr_opno

Yes, I'm sorry. In the Misc strings section add: opmgr_opno : 0 #15240 - Operation number You are actually adding a string, not a variable. The added line initializes the string

Whoops, it should read pparameter$

That's what I call a bold pirate!

I added this function to a MPMaster post several years ago. In the General output settings section: tseqno : 3 #Output sequence number at toolchanges when omitseq = yes #0=off, 1=seq numbers match toolchange number, 2=seq numbers match tool number, 3 = Mastercam Operations Manager Operation Number in the pprameter$ postblock add: if prmcode$ = 15240, opmgr_opno = rpar(sparameter$,1) #Operation number Turn off "Output sequence numbers in the CD:

Anyone have a recommendation for a Laser with a 4 x 8 table? We would be using it mostly for cutting wood veneer.

Yes, it was slow as hell. But it did work.

Yes, and having to run a math co-processor emulator from a floppy.

The only way I know is to have the veiwsheet active while you renumber the level.

Yep, that's the one I got too.
