Are they associated to the geometry?

 

I turn that off. I also have to lock them because sometimes the origin shifts simply from hitting the equal button to normalize the view. Reload without saving and it works normally without shifting. I haven't been in 23 enough to see if it still happens.

 

 The geometry I'm changing is on a new plane made after the planes that are un-rotating. I duplicate all my planes from the standard top/bottom/front etc, so I don't think they're related in any way.

Locking the planes works, I completely forgot about being able to do that.

I'm having an issue where geometry I'm creating and then editing is un-rotating any planes I've made that were rotated.

My usual process is to duplicate a plane, reselect my origin and rotate on the Z plane to match my vise or whatever. I'll make my toolpaths, maybe add some wireframe geometry and move on to the next set up. I'll create another new plane and a new level for any new geometry for whatever I need there, but if delete some of this new geometry the old rotated planes will un-rotate and dirty all of those toolpaths.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Does your machine have a sub spindle?  

The machine I loaded had a sub spindle and that option was not available.  In that case I would create two separate .MCAM files.  Or you could try loading a second machine group into a single Mastercam file.  That might get messy with the way things are handled with Mill-Turn though.  

No sub spindle. I was hoping stock flip was an option we didn't have set up.

Lathe stock flip in MT is not directly supported, unfortunately. The easiest way of going about this is to save the stock after the first side work is done, saving the resultant stock geometry to a level, and using that and a copy of the part geometry to drive a 2nd machine group that does the flipped side. 

This is what I ended up doing. I couldn't load a second mill-turn machine group so I had to make a new file for side 2. Not the end of the world, just slightly less organized than I'd like it.

Thanks guys!

Is there a way to do something like a lathe stock flip in Mill-Turn? It doesn't show up in the mill-turn section and if I try the lathe version I get a "machine does not support this operation type" error.

The workspace control this not the config. I have several backups of my workspaces. I am using 2020 with no ribbons and only QAT and to be honest I feel like I am not fighting as much to do my work. I am one who very much dislikes the Ribbons. 

I think one of your posts is why I tried the QAT in the first place, I'm not a big fan of the ribbons and I'd probably put the quick mask and selection bars on the QAT if I could too. It's too much clutter for my eyes.

I did get the mastercam.workspace file to work on a computer I didn't have set up already, so at least I have an idea of what was going wrong yesterday. Thanks for the help guys.

I tried copying "My Mastercam" and that didn't work. And somehow in doing that I got rid of all the stuff I was trying to save in the first place. Very confusing.

The only things that won't save across different computers are the quick access toolbar and the tabs I moved to the top of the toolpath manager.

The "Shared Mastercam" folder I'm not touching unless I need to. I share computers  with a couple other guys and I don't want to mess anyone else's settings up.

I've got my .config file saved in a folder on our network, it doesn't seem tied to that.

Hi guys. We just upgraded to 2020 and I made a custom quick access toolbar for the first time. I'd was hoping to copy a config file of some sort and get the same layout on a different computer but I can't figure out how. I tried copying and replacing the mastercam.workspace file as shown on https://www.inhousesolutions.com/2016/08/toolbars-resetting-adding-custom-backup-mastercam-2017/ but it's not doing anything. Anyone have any ideas?
