New Toolpath Group - Keyboard Shortcut Possible?
SuperHoneyBadger posted a topic in Industrial Forum
Pretty straightforward. Looking to assign "New Toolpath Group" to a keystroke. This command only seems to exist inside the right-click menu of the Toolpaths Manager. Is it possible to assign it to a keystroke? I'll even accept some modifications or workarounds. I do a lot of updating old programs (not through all 4000 yet), they usually have the OPs unorganized. I'll be lucky if G54 and G55 have separate groups, usually just divided by a comment. So naturally I need to organize them when I open one up, and making multiple toolpath groups is a pain in the patoot. And at speed, I have often clicked "cut" on the way to the Groups flyout. There is no dialogue box or anything, your toolpaths are just poofed, and the red arrow now lives in the last group you made, so good luck pasting them back in the right spot. Anyways, kind of a long road, but that's the deal. A "New Toolpath group" shortcut would be useful. -
Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I have a question that I thought this community might be able to help with. I work as a CNC programmer and use Mastercam for my projects. After I've completed my programming, I usually fill out an Excel file with tool part numbers, references, revisions, dates, and part images. Recently, I came across the concept of setup sheets in Mastercam, and I realized that they can do something similar to my Excel file. I'm wondering if there's a way to customize my setup sheet by integrating my Excel data directly into it. This would save me a lot of time and effort. Has anyone tried doing something similar, or does anyone have any insights into how I might go about it? Any tips, guidance, or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

We recently upgraded to a new computer, moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and from Mastercam 2022 to Mastercam 2023. As a result, our configurations were reset to the default. I don't know if this is due to an update or just going back to the default settings, but I started to notice little orange dots and discovered the 'Arc Center Points' toggle in the display tab. Is there any way I can default this setting to be off when I open Mastercam? I can turn it off manually, but it's a little tedious having to do that every time. I tried looking at the 'Customize Ribbon' tab, but I'm not seeing an option for that - only an option to remove the setting from the ribbon (it's greyed out, but I'm assuming that's just because it's not a custom group? Either way, I don't want to remove it. I just want it to not be enabled by default). Any help would be appreciated UPDATE: The problem was what Aaron Eberhard suggested. I had multiple instances of Mastercam open, so when I closed it, the setting didn't save. Thanks to everyone who replied, your help was indeed appreciated
