Hello everyone,
Actually I have two feature requests...
First, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... give us an option to control the auto-calculate fields based on tool diameter!
How about:
1 - Value based on % of tool diameter (current and only option)…value changes when tool diameter changes.
2 - Value is fixed – doesn’t change (YES!)
We do a considerable amount of microwave component work using end mills from .005 to .020 in diameter. Most of the features have little to no room for movement due to the size of the tool required and so very careful planning for leads is required. Once set, changing a tool by .001 on the diameter can render the op useless until all the values are adjusted.
Second, make the PRMDEF Add-On an actual System Configuration Setting.
I've been using this since I first found out about it and it's a great! Except for the fact that it must be installed separately, set as the Startup Add-In and you’re prompted every time Mastercam starts.
Thanks for your consideration!
John
