  1. How do I go about changing the line width for anything I set from "Properties" in each Machine Group? I'm referring to the dashed lines that show on the graphics window to represent, for example, stock and chuck jaws. Thank you!
  2. I thought that was the problem at first because the tool would clip the tail of the stock so I changed the "Home Position" from "Machine Defined" to "User Defined" but that made no difference. The only way I got the toolpath to work was by continuously pressing "Yes" when Mastercam asked me if I wanted to continue even though the tool was colliding. As for "Stock Recognition", that option is not enabled for this operation. Mastercam seems to only want to enable such option for certain tools and operations which I find extremely weird. Usually when I can use it I do because it avoids the stock completely and I have no problems whatsoever. I have attached the two parameters I have for Home position and stock recognition. Thank you for your help!
  3. Mastercam X4 lathe has been giving me an error for the past few days that I cannot figure out. It keeps telling me that my tool is colliding with my stock—after the stock has been set up—but there is no clear indication of where the tool collides with the stock. Also, it only happens with one specific tool while doing a specific face. I've tried messing around with Tool Clearance option in Stock Setup as well as DOC, but nothing. I have attached three pictures that include the tool Mastercam is failing with, the parameters I am using and the error I get on the geometry I am running. There are other tools I can use to program with, but we have alwas used this tool and we're trying to verify all of our parts, except this cannot be done if every time we try to regenerate we get this error. Thank you for your time.
