  1. Mine will do that if I have an instance of mastercam open and the IT guy updates the server or my pc at night. other than few right click buttons I run really close to stock interface less stuff to mess with and remember how to get back
  2. I forgot about that setting too..... The Grob 5 axis machines I program seem to love all the vectors you can feed them so I usually pile em on heavy and then dial my cycle 832 settings with a decent angle tolerance and let it chow down like pac man.
  3. Well then on your cut pattern page there should be a box that says maximum step choke that down smaller and see if it helps ya out
  4. Well I suppose there isn't much there.... sometimes less is more...and it would run faster and blend like a dream... as far as acceleration around corners we working with Siemens or Fanuc controlled machine if its a Siemens get that cycle 832 loosened up and let er rip....
  5. Am I missing something here? it looks like you could get at all of that corner rounding done with simple 3+2 indexing and contours?
  6. I am not 100 percent certain in what you are trying to accomplish but many times I will finish both walls and then pick the corner out with a tapered ball using a parallel toolpath. or maybe a pencil that you convert to 5 axis with tilt
  7. you get a pretty decent report if you open your tool manager and right click ^ import/export tools^ detailed report
  8. I agree. I just feel like the whole process could be better. Tool management is a pain in the butt.
  9. I use it. I wish they would put some more time into it and make it as powerful as some of the tools in mastercam. I believe it would also be nice to back save tools to the library that were built in an instance of mc... the stand alone has its issues but its not useless.
  10. The stand alone tool manager could be so much better. I have all my holders done along with quite a few assemblies... Its just a pain in the but to go back and forth. You would think we would be able to grab a holder that we already created in our library and throw a new tool in it assign all the proper fields and then save it back into the library without even opening the stand alone manager but no lol. I do make all my holders from .stp files. that is one other funny thing about the stand alone manager you can only import custom geometry from .dxf files. Its like the manager was an afterthought and it is less powerful than actually creating a tool in an instance of Mastercam. Its a time vampire
  11. Why is it not possible to create a tool assembly in Mastercam and back save it into a custom library. I will stay in the stand alone tool manager for an instance and then vanish.
  12. I have never had this happen to me on any control. Did it show in verify?
  13. okay planes manager tab click on the gear click on plane gnomon settings …. there you can shut it off
  14. pretty sure that's on your planes manager tab at the top it should have some options up at the top I know it took me some digging to figure it out
