Here I did a test for raster operation. 0.15mm steppover on a part that is 800mmx600mm. i7 7700k: 6min56s i9 10900k: 5min37s Verify for this operation: I7 7700k processing NCI data: 53s 3d simulation: 3min18s Compare: 15s I9 10900k processing NCI data :: 44s 3d simulation: 2min3s Compare: 10s When grinding the raster operation was only for a short time at 100% when doing Parralel passes: https://prnt.sc/10duu1q With linking parralel passes and all other operations it was 10-40%. https://prnt.sc/10duvep Where it was crunching numbers with a 100% load on CPUthe operation was almost immediately over. Verify: The processor was 100% loaded only during the compare operation. In the simulation, it rarely went over 50%. The Raster operation is one of the fastest out of the finnishing operations. And i have like 60 different operations per part. i7 7700k overclocked to 4.8ghz. I9 10900k was on stock. I could still overclock it a bit so I still gain 5-10%. That's it. I don't think that Intel or Amd can improve single core speed by too much. maybe 5% increase each year, But thats too slow. If 3D worked like 2D it would be great. Greetings G

Yeah the i7 7700k was overclocked to 4.8ghz. But still with the i9 10900k i have 5ghz on all cores and 5.3ghz on single core. I really tought that this processor and gpu will speed up the process. Especially the verify part. Because i have large 3d parts that take alot of time to program... It takes me roughly 1-2weeks to finnish the programm for 1part working 8-12 hours a day... And the "waiting" part is killing me. For 2d programming mastercam is the best. but for 3d they need to optimize it so that it will crunch numbers faster.

Hello, I have build a new PC. -Intel i9 10900k -Quadro rtx 4000 -128gb RAM -Samsung 970 evo Plus SSD -CPU is watercooled and never goes beyong 60 degrees even at full load. So the problem that i have is that it doesn't utiilize all 20 cores @100%... The only time it uses them all is when i use the compare function in verify. Any suggestions how i could increase the speed? In fact its working slower than my previous i7 7700k. There i get 100% load in verify and in multi thread manager.

In mastercam 2019 and Mastercam 2020 there are several bugs with drilling holes when selecting mask on arc. sometimes not all holes are selected. When i try the same .dwg or .step file in Mcam 2017 or 2018 everithing works fine. Also sometimes holes on other depths are selected when i have the Depth filter checked. I almost crashed my 5axis Machine because of this. When will this be fixed? I cant attach the .dwg and .step files here because of privacy issues... But i can confirm that these problems dont exist in mcam 2018 and below.
