I have question about the plane ,I am using MC 2017 when I write the program for 4 operation parts each operation I created a different plane call op# 1 ,op # 2 , op # 3 , op# 4 . on the plane parametter all my 3 planes ( working coordinate system / Tool plane and construction plane ) the all automatic change every time I switch the the plane that I want to work on . But on my coworker system it does not , only the first box which" work coordinate system" is showed the new plane name and the other 2 box grey out which causing problem when he post out the NC. I try to fixed for him but we both unable to find out the problem. I am missing some thing on the setting ? Thank you so much

Hi , I am doing some engraving work today with .012 width letter so I use engraving tool .008 dia . it run good on backplot but when I do the toolpath verify I got this error message : "Collision tolerance .006 is too large for the tool definition , increase tool side or decrease colission tolerance to avoid errors during simulation " . I do this lot of time before on X6 and never have this problem . I know the setting is some where but can't it . can some one show me how to get there . I am using MC2017 thansk you so much

Can some body show me how to hide the stock model after I created a stock model to verify my toolpath , it stay overlap my Step file and I don't know how to hide it so I have to delete it out of my toolpath manager and come back to create again as the program go on kind of wasted time . Thanks you so much

Do you mean all 3 must show the same name in the plane manager ? which mean that I need to cheat the Z value or if I pick diferrent location for X,Y origin ? Thanks

I normally create 2 separate program for top and bottom of my part until my friend show me how to use new WCS which very cool to save me time . But I very confuse example : on my old X6 when I rotate the plane 90 deg and make it a new plane for my next operation , I name it OP# 2 and start making toolpath out of that new plane and it work perfect with out problem , when I go to parameter - plane and I always see the parameters like this : ( my friend told me all 3 have to be the same ) Working coordinate system / Tool plane / Comp / construction plane OP #2 OP# 2 OP# 2 and there is a box below say display relate to WCS , if I check that box the Tool plane and construction plane is Dim but I post out ok. but now I am using MC 2017 for a little over 2 months , I did the same thing I used to do before and I see like this : Working coordinate system / Tool plane / Comp / construction plane OP #2 OP# 2 OP# 2 I the program post out wrong with G54 and next op It come out G55 and I almost crash the machine I came back and redo the process this time it come out like this below and it work ok working coordinate system / Tool plane / comp / construction plane OP #2 bottom bottom Bottom line is I have no idea what I am looking for , which parameter is correct ? Please help . thank you so much

solid model change color after selected for 3d toolpath
snguyen6 replied to snguyen6's topic in Industrial Forum
I am using version 2017 . example : I set the step file with purple color , after I click on the model to do the 3d rough pocket , the step file now change to green . and than if I keep going with 3d finish countour it start changing to another color . it very wierd I never see that before . -
I had set a color for the 3D model but it keep changing every time I select it to do a 3d toolpath , how do I stop it ? thanks

need help to find old traditional scallope toolpath
snguyen6 replied to snguyen6's topic in Industrial Forum
thank you so much . how come I did not see that ? do you mean right click on the toolpath manager Icon ? I did that and the only thing I see is customzing the Ribbon and 3 other option which allow you to add a command. would you show me a screen shot of the icon you right click on ? I am not in front of Mastercam now will try it on Monday when back to work. again thank so much for your help. -
I am new to mastercam and transition from X6 to Mc 2017 . Can some one help me to find the old finish 3D scallope and paralell toolpath . Some one show me to Right click on toolpath manager and add it on but I can't find it there , I see there is 3D pocket and countour but not the scallope , Am I missing some thing ? second question is I had set a color for the 3D model but it keep changing every time I select it to do a toolpath , how do I stop it ? many thanks
-
is the traditional 3D finish scallop and 3d countour... etc... still available in mastercam 2017 ? if yes where can I find them ? I like to use them rather then the high speed scallops thanks
