    On a lathe incremental moves are driven by U (X) V (Y) and W (Z) ...just an FYI

    Im not sure if this has an effect or not, Goto Machine Definition, in machine Configuration expand Tool Changer Group Right click on Automatic Tool Changer - Properties there are some time values that can be altered.

    What does the code look like? If the program is telling you that it is at Z 0 and your work and tool offsets are correct then that is what it is. When you touched off on the face of the part did you face measured did you then shift the work offset by .05"? If you touched off and did a face measure then that will be 0.

    We do, but our backups have a shelf life of 6 months and this project sort of pops up once a year. My dealer is these guys (Inhouse) so if some one from here can give a direction to head towards I would be grateful. Thanks for the suggestion.

    I figured as much, thanks for the input.

    On a day to day basis a couple of VMC, Haas and Fadals ( apparently we got the Fadals when Noah auctioned off his boat building shop) and a duel spindle lathe. Occasionally I will lend a programming hand to Router, Waterjet, Laser and 5 axis (not full 5 axis but a lot of 3+2 stuff)

    I have A file which was accidently saved as an educational file while mucking around with one of the HLE versions. Is there a way to convert this file back to an 'industrial' file. This is one of the bosses private projects that gets brought up and then pushed to the back -burner every 6 months or so.

    Could be a graphics issue, are you running a laptop or desktop?

    There a few different charts that show what sort of engagement is needed for material types, here is one eg https://littlemachineshop.com/reference/tapdrill.php

    Will this maybe work for you? https://www.mastercam.com/solutions/productivity/

    Change to tool tip and see the difference in toolpaths. I think then your question might be answered.
  12. AHarrison1
    Is the toolpath tool driven by tool tip or tool contact point?

    Try the 2nd to last option for filters.

    This is exactly how I understand it to work hence my suggestion. Thank you for the detailed explanation. If it is wrong then both you and I stand corrected.

    Use Scallop height instead of Distance.

    Create a new facing op. I'm guessing that all those ops were from op1 ported over to op2. Sometimes the ops still stay tied to previous stock which is why they sometimes don't show the stock being updated. You said you created new stock so the problem may be the op itself.
  17. AHarrison1
    I don't have 2019 loaded anymore but in 2020 and 2024 I went to stock settings and just cycled through the tabs in properties. This caused the facing op to go dirty, re-executed face op now it is all good.

    Do you have a file to share? Goto File - Zip2Go. That way others can see what you are seeing and offer better help and possible solutions.

    ^^^this^^^ ..preach it to the people..

    I believe it is now on the ribbon bar grouped under visibility. It has always been on the ribbon bar but now removed from file options

    I see that often, bean counters gladly stepping over a dollar to pick up a penny

    I am humbled, however I am no where near the level of quite a few people on here.
  23. AHarrison1
    I dont have 2023 loaded anymore, but in 2024 - Dynamic OptiRough for Example on the tool page there is Tool Inspection with distance or time options.
  24. AHarrison1
    Are you referring to the glow highlighting? In 2024 goto file - configuration - Selection - Right side of window
