  1. If you have a software license, you may want to de-activate it first.
  2. Newer Haas will do peck tapping https://www.haascnc.com/video/tipoftheday/ybk1mn_q9j0.html
  3. Remote Desktop will look for the hasp of your local system, not the one at work. Use Teamviewer to access your work computer and launch Mastercam, then you can use remote desktop once Mastercam is running.
  4. 2023 backplot on axis substitution is messed up. D-48091
  5. you will need to create a batch file that copies one of the 3 workspace files to the \config\mastercam.workspace.
  6. I love this method of drill sorting, finally some intelligence has been add to drill sorting that gives you the shortest rapid distance. How do you plan on fixing this? By adding a new sort option? There are 46 different drilling sorting options in Mastercam already. Please keep this sort method as is or rename it and remove the prompt for start point.
  7. I find that virus scanners flag the presentation files as having a virus and deletes the file before I can run it. This happens with any version of Mastercam
  8. Here are a couple one pager setup sheets. One is a tool list and the other is the operation list. Extract to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Shared Mastercam 2022\common\reports\SST\ In-House Solutions Setup Sheets.zip
  9. Hopefully the error stays away, but it seems to come back. I have seen it appear when using 2 monitors and then switch to one.
  10. I went back to Mastercam 2021 Update 1 and now Verisurf tools works good.
  11. I am running the Mastercam 2021 update 2 and I don't get errors but I cannot access many of the Verisurf functions.
  12. The 2004 update worked fine for me also without having to install the new driver first. The hasp driver in the device manager still shows a 2013 date. The updated driver is 2019-03-29
  13. The problem is due to having no default printer. http://kb.mastercam.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50620.aspx Problem When launching Mastercam, an error dialog pops up saying Failed to Initialize COM. Cause Mastercam was unable to initialize a Windows system that is used to interact with some Windows components. Solution Go into the Windows Control Panel, Devices and Printers, and right-click on the Microsoft XPS Document Writer. Select Set as default printer. Mastercam should now launch with the XPS writer as the default printer
  14. I have seen this error even with a good graphics card. Deleting these files in the \Documents\My Mastercam 2020\Mastercam\ always fixes the problem. mwMachSim.ini MastercamSimulatorDefaults.xml mwVerifierGUI.ini
  15. Here is a couple of options that are easy on your printer toner or paper supply -In-House Solutions - active reports.zip
  16. Go to Options in Verify and turn on "Always Use 5-axis Engine"
  17. Steve, I am with Brian again today, do you me to head back and pay you me a visit
  18. Steve, under misc values you can set this to 1 for G54 only output.
  19. Sorting the tool list is easy, just click on the one of the "Selected Fields" and it will sort based on that.
  20. Allen, it is the panel on the left with the operations manager.
  21. If you want to search for an operation by its comment, just right-click and Doc File... and then search the text file that pops up.
  22. I think this is the video he wanted so show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV66ZLdhizA Here is a video showing a sample done with Mastercam https://youtu.be/2Zi60gZuSvU?t=7m31s
  23. .005 is very coarse tolerance. offset a chord on a 2" diameter by .005" and you have a .2 flat. Try a .0002 tolerance
