  1. Making a z2g file, click here Your simulation models will be located here... C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared Mcam2019\MachineSimulation\MachSim Select the folder that represent the machine....you can just drag the folder right onto the the completed z2g folder and it'll add the file to it..
  2. Actually, when coupled with your F9 issue.....it sounds to me like you have installed a mouse with some software/..... You might try using the standard Microsoft Mouse driver and see if that clears your issues
  3. Terry, if you want to send me a z2g, with your simulation models I'll be happy to look at and see what's going on...the reality is that's what it's going to take... CNC, your reseller or someone else will have to dig into it
  4. I can promise you your reseller does....if they don't for some reason, they(your reseller) can contact me directly to verify that you're a legitimate user and I'd be happy to share what I have...
  5. That's an Active Reports sheet... You can add group comment to the Active Reports sheet and have that output with setup up instructions
  6. Does the drill break thru and touch the fixture? That can also put up a collision
  7. Look for the file on the main CNC forum
  8. Had to do it in 2020, all I have....check out how I set my path and planes up JP_screen.mcam
  9. To me, this sounds like there is a collision check set up on either the part or stock....collision checking against the stock should not be enabled.. From half a country away, can't say with certainty though
  10. Seriously, just give the person a basic part, ask them to spend 30 minutes and evaluate their work, finished or not..you'll get the idea on how they setup their part and paths..
  11. You realize this topic is 13 years old?
  12. Is endpoint unchecked on your autocursor settings? RMB >> Autocursor
  13. Machsim won't recognize them....my post handles jump heights automagially, machsim does not see them....I have to set high clearance heights, then switch them back after I'm good on part & tool clearances
  14. Someone may be best equipped to tell you what's up if you shared a file.. No, that is not behavior that should be seen in a properly setup file
  15. Not if you use it properly and define stock
  16. You'll have to define what that standard tool is....I too do a lot of smallish parts with chamfers up against angles and walls....for us a tool as shown would be a non-starter...every part we make has to be a diamond and ont in the rough if you know what I mean...I use chamfer tools down to a 1/32 x 90° if I must to get into tight areas.....but typically with a tip offset and and depth offset in a chamfer cut I can get right against the area I need to ....
  17. You can't....they only lease their products AFAIK they do not sell direct to consumer..the Moduleworks features that are included in Mastercam are all you have access to..
  18. Yes, used them.....they work as advertised....in that case it it fits thru the hole, you should be GTG
  19. Check with your Mastercam reseller and see if they are a Cimco Dealer as well
  20. Well, that changes the formula I guess
  21. Yeah Don't expect much out of it if you're not paying to tie the post to it
  22. All it does is expand the verify timeline..."makes it easy to see quick tools that might get lost in many operations" Basically useless
  23. Other than native IMO If you can open the native files, not translating at all is best but after that, parasolids are first, step is second
