I believe your program lacked a defined tool library. When you created your tools it just asked if you wanted to save them, which is perfectly fine. With it being the Demo version it may have done some wonky stuff which the name of your machine group to reflect where your information for the program was saved. I don't think it is anything that will affect the rest of your process.

Matthew are you refering to the "red triangle" in the toolpaths column under stock setup? If so that is a marker for where your going to insert a tool path when you create one. See example below Machine group -Properties -Toolpath Group -Toolpath 1 (contour) -> (red triangle) ****If I go to my Tool path manager and select a "Face" cycle it will insert that tool path HERE because thats where my "Red triangle" is located -Toolpath 2 (drill) I am trying to figure out what you did with the rest of your questions. but that should answer the triangle one. LOL

Planes are not created on Levels. Planes are completely separate entities from levels. Planes allow you to orientate your part on any angle, or any direction that you please. This controls how your tool paths are going to work when you get into programming the part. Levels however are like Rob said, they allow you to store geometry/surfaces/splines/and solids on separate levels so that you can "hide/unhide" them easily. For example at my work we use levels to separate Surfaces from our Wire frame. We also setup a level for Tool path Geometry, and Bounding Box. This way if I need to select a surface, and ONLY a surface, I can turn off every level except my "Surfaces" level and then all I will see is what is stored on that "Level"

Forgive me if this has been covered before, I searched deep hole drilling and didnt find anything. I'm trying to figure out how to program (through mastercam 2018) to have a extra long drill enter a piloted hole at lets say 300 RPM, pause, ramp to desired RPM then commence drilling. The goal being to not allow the drill to run out (too much) while entering the hole. I have only explored this a little bit and have not really been able to find a way to do it besides hand programming. If this has been covered before could you kindly provide a link to the thread. Thanks, Scooter.
