Yeah, that's in MachSim. Mastercam 2023. Not sure if it was in earlier versions. I recently started using NCSIMUL and it has a function like that, so I went looking for it in MachSim.

Machine Simulation also provides the ability to remove chips. It's located in an odd spot, inside the "Measure" docking pane and in the drop-down list. When this is turned on, it does it automatically while processing.

My mistake when I said it didn't get rid of the message. I had opened a file and saved it. Then when I had the message again, I didnt realize it was a different fie. Same part number different file..... Duh Rory

That's what I thought right away too but saving it without Verisuf hasn't gotten rid of the message.

I recently move to a new PC and am getting a message about the file being created with a newer version of Verisurf. Short of installing Verisurf, how do I get rid of this error each time I open a file? Rory

Have both systems been calibrated? They are each independent of one another, one calibration does not cover the other.

We use the Productivity+ add-on with great results. There is a lot you can do with it. I like that it is all built into your posted code and no editing or merging needed once posted.

Anybody programming for a DMG MORI Taiyo Koki CVG-6 grinder? http://www.taiyokoki.com/index_products_e.html I'm looking to see if I can get a post built to program this machine and have been told they need sample code because grinders typically are programmed with patterns or macros that are not easily generated with a post processor. We are just setting this machine up and haven't made anything on it yet so I don't have any code to look at. Thanks

It is possible by using Groups. Click on Groups in the lower corner of the screen, this will open the Groups Manager. Select New and give it a name then follow the instructions to select entities. In order to use these as a group you need to select the All button on the General Selection ribbon bar when that window pops up select the Group Manager button and proceed from there. Rory

In the toolist, is it possible to capture the tool material such as HSS, Carbide, Ti Coated...? Rory

Feeding in and rapid out has worked for me. Make sure the machine can produce enough axis thrust otherwise you could have problems with the machine stopping.

As far as I have seen, Mastercam does not give you a warning that you are opening a file that may already be open, either on your computer or someone elses. So a word of caution on opening multiple sessions would be that if you open the same file in two different sessions at the same time on the same computer for what ever reason, some changes could be lost becasue the "last one out, wins".

Have you tried PH Horn?

Near the beginning of the post in the revision log, there is a note; "# IHS 11/06/02 - Switch added for 4/3 decimal place tapping feeds, dat". I can't seem to locate the switch. I know that I could change out the format statement, but if there is a switch... Has anybody come across it? Rory

I am trying to print a drawing from X4 onto 11" x 17" size paper. It looks correct on screen when you use the "print" option rather than the "Print Preview". When you click "Print Preview" it is not shown correct and does not print correctly either. Has anybody run into this issue? If so, is there a way around it to get it to print to fill the 11 x 17 paper? Rory
