Looks like I'll be getting the Quadro RTX4000. Thanks.

GCode or whoever else may know. Is it imperative to use a Quadro card? Or could I use something like an RTX 2060 or 2070 Super? I will be building a new workstation soon and the graphics card is the only thing I am debating on mainly because I can get the RTX 2060/2070 Super for $400-550 where the RTX4000 is $875. Im running Mastercam 2019. Mainly simple 3 axis mill and 2 axis lathe. But about once a week I have to program 5 axis for several turbine blisks. Verify and Machine Sim are really slow on my current machine running a i7-6700, 16gb ram, and a Quadro k1200. I know the Solidworks really likes Quadros but this workstation is going to be for Mastercam only. The specs will be: i9-10900k (overclocked as high as I can get it and still be stable) NZXT Kraken X63 AIO cooler Gigabyte Z490 UD 4x16gb of GSkill 3600 ram Samsung 970 Evo 1TB M.2 SSD 2x Seagate Barracuda 2tb 7200rpm HDD in RAID 1 Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 750w If a gaming graphics card will work just fine then I might just use my current Quadro K1200 until the RTX3000 series cards come out.

Mine defaults to A4 (8.27"x11.69") paper size. Even though I have my printer set to Letter (8.5"x11") in the Windows printer settings. I've tried changing it in the Windows setting to different sizes and it still defaults to A4 in Mastercam for some reason.

I have tried axis substitution. It only gives me the option to rotate about x or y. So the toolpath does not work like it should. I have tried using multiaxis toolpaths to accomplish my goal and limit the y axis travel within the toolpath and that doesn't work either. It won't even generate the toolpath if I turn on the y axis limit.

Still pretty new to Mastercam programming so bear with me. I am trying to create a 15.5" diameter fixture plate for our 5 axis trunnion. The problem is that the fixture plate is so large, I can only reach the back 60-70% of the plate before I run out of Y axis travel. The machine is a Haas VF3 with the classic control. It has a Haas TR210 trunnion mounted almost all the way at the front of the table. Using Mastercam 2019. What I would like to be able to do is lock the Y axis at G54 Y0 and have Mastercam only use the Z, X and B axis. I need to face off the top of the plate, profile the sides, then drill and tap a bunch of holes. I also need to figure out how to do this because the engineers are starting to design parts that are 13+" in diameter and I will probably need to use the same method for machining their parts. I have attached the Zip2Go file. Thanks Trunnion Fixture Plate help.zip

I am going to be building a new computer for Mastercam 2019 in the near future. We do a lot of 5 axis work and regen time after every little change takes up to 10 minutes for some toolpaths. Our current system is an i7-6700 with 16gb of ram. From what I have read so far, it is better to get a gaming style CPU with less cores and higher clock speed rather than a workstation/server CPU with more cores and lower clock speed? I can build an 8086k, Xeon, Threadripper or Ryzen 2700x system with 64gb of ram, Quadro P4000, Samsung 970 Pro for $2500-3500. Would it be beneficial for future proofing this system to go with more cores or go with the 8086k and overclock it.
