If you would like to default to Tool Change instead of the default Operation value you need to Edit the “MastercamSimulatorDefaults.xml” which is in the roof of your my mcamx7 Folder. That folder is here: “C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\my mcamx7″

You need to open the XML file in a text editor such as Cimco, notepad, etc edit the “drawMode” line. Use control+F to find the drawMode line. Change Operation to Toolnumber as pictured here:

Please note that Toolnumber is case sensitive and there can be no extra spaces. Save XML file and reopen the UVBS.

In some cases the “Update Folder” procedure is not updating Tool Libraries correctly. In those cases please use this alternate procedure.

1.

Start up Mastercam X6 and pick a machine type. Then from the Mastercam main menu go to Toolpath, Tool Manager.

2.

Next, copy all the tools from the X6 library to the upper pane.

3.

Choose a location and type in a filename to save the file as an mcx-6 file.

4.

Start-up X7, open the mcx-6 file you saved in the previous step. Go to Toolpath, Tool Manager. Once there use the “Create new library” button to create a new X7 library.

5.

Confirm your save location, type in a new library name, and click the save button.

6.

Now select all the tools in the upper pane and click the black down arrow to copy the tools to the lower pane.

7.

Once the tools have been copied to the lower pane click the green OK check button and choose “Yes” to save the changes to your current library message.
