Metrology Minute – Creating and restoring a Custom View
During your inspection process, you might find an area that you would like to blow up and highlight. In the water pump example below, we wanted to create a cutaway and zoom in on the section of the circled hole region in Control X. In order to do this in Design X, you first need to add the dimensions. From there, you can turn on the View Clipping option, which is located in the Display tab down the right side of the viewing screen. After selecting Set, position the Clipping Plane Control to chop off all of the unwanted portions of the model, isolating just the portion you would like to display in your Custom Viewport. Next, select Add Viewport and a new view is created under the Custom Views section. Give the view a logical name, such as “zoom-in-holes”. This now becomes a settable viewport, selectable for placement in an inspection report or for retrieval while working on the inspection process. Please contact Joel Pollet with any questions.

Streamline your Mastercam 2024 Workflow
Mastercam 2024 is the latest edition of the world’s leading CAD/CAM software, intentionally upgraded to make your programming workflow fast and easy. It prioritizes streamlining workflow so that the entire machining process – from design to QC – is as efficient as possible. Explore these six tips and features to help you maximize the benefits of Mastercam 2024. 1. Dividing Turret Tool Locators into 2 Separate Component Types You can now use the turret-mounted angled milling heads in Mill-Turn operations. This lets you create toolpaths on angled planes using turret-mounted tools. Prior to Mastercam 2024, tool locators for turrets supported both turning tools and milling tools in live tooling stations. While turning tools could be mounted in an angular orientation, live tools could not. Mastercam 2024 divides turret tool locators into two separate component types: one for turning tools, and another for milling tools. You can specify a fixed angle in the component properties or read the orientation from the operation. This allows you to create tilted plane, G68-style toolpaths with turret-only machines. 2. Cutting Holes Based on Previously Defined Processes The Process Hole toolpath applies previously defined processes to a part’s solid hole features. A process consists of one or more hole-making [...]
