    Been broken since about 2018. It has to be done through the planes manager. Click the position in the planes manager and go pick a point then it will associate it. This cannot be done when 1st creating the new plane. Create the plane 1st then click on the position arrow in the planes manager and now the programmer have the ability associate it to the point or feature they wanted. Right clicking and editing the plane will not give the programmer this ability. This is the only way I have found that works.

    Greyed out even after plane is created.

     

    That was more or less working for me in 2019. But no matter what I try I can't get it to work in 2020. 

  2. Hi guys, loving the new features in Mastercam 2020. Especially some of the chaining options in the 2D toolpaths. Also really like how when you select solids or wireframe you have a tool selection that you can customize that automatically pops up. That is awesome. But I'm having trouble with being able to associate my Plane that ive created with a point or anything. I can see the text "Associative", but it is dimmed and unclickable. Was wondering if I have missed a linking option, or if maybe this is a bug that needs to be working out. It is a bit troublesome when I go to lower my plane and it doesn't follow the point. If I forget to select and move the point, I end up having to go through and re-program some of my link parameters. Any help is greatly appreciated as always.

    While you can't record functions and operations in Mastercam, you can create operations and export them.

    You also have the option of including the geometry during export.

    I like the sounds of exporting the geometry during export! How exactly is that done? I've only ever been able to import and export toolpaths WITHOUT geometry attached.

  4. When your mouse is in the ribbon, you can scroll between the tabs in the ribbon by rolling the wheel on your mouse. I am wondering, and hoping, that I can change it so that when I'm in the Toolpath ribbon, and I'm in either 2D or 3D I can make it scroll thru that. Therefor making it easier, not having to drop the menu down or click the arrows to get the toolpath I desire. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated
