Mastercam Levels and the Levels Manager
Вставка

- Mastercam Levels are used to help organize graphical items within your Mastercam file. You do not have to use levels. However, using them can really help you stay organized and become more efficient with your Mastercam use.
In this video I go through every option on the Levels Manager, from the very basic Add a New Level button, to the more advanced Level Export and Level Import. I also go through what I would suggest would be a good starting point for Level use if you are not currently using them. There are not only buttons for Level use at the top of the Levels Manager, but there are also right click options and options only available if Level Properties are set to be shown.
Typically, I will place like geometry on a specific level. All Wireframe geometry on its own level. The solid model of the part on its own level. All solid associated with the fixture/vise on their own level. This makes it easy to only show or hide items you want. This helps declutter when getting into complex selection and also helps for defining fixtures for simulation or backplotting.
So, in short, if you are not using levels you should be. Hopefully this video can get you started into Level usage and get you more efficient with your Mastercam programming.

Hi, very helpful information. Thanks !
Glad it was useful!
good ok
sometimes, when i create a new gnomon, the T and C plane gets moved to a random gnomon. It may be that i make errors but also it may be a bug/glitch in mastercam 2021.
👍
doing a video that shows how to create and program a part start to finish would be very helpful. planes, levels, bounding box
Plenty on our course site. caminstructor.com/
Where is the best place to get models for fixtures
So levels is basically the ability to hide or reveal different things and group things? If you had to define levels, is that it?
Yes, hide and reveal as well as group and you can also name those groups.
this is a dumb question I know but how do you pull up the levels tab on the side left of the screen?? thank yoU! !
Make sure Levels is turned on in the Managers section on the View tab. It should open already docked on the left. If not, left click hold and then drag it to where ever you want it.
Hello quick question how do I restore manager tabs on the bottom? I double clicked the level tab and it disappeared have not been able to restore.
On the View tab, you can toggle all managers on/off there.
@@CamInstructor Thank you sir. Appreciate your response. I'm staying tuned to your programing ready for your next video. Great content 👍
Could you do a video about the planes manager like this
Absolutely.
Just a follow up, there are some changes to the Planes Manager in 2022 so a Planes video will be on hold until the release of 2022....June-ish.
Can you place toolpaths on different levels and then hide them by deactivating the level?
Toolpaths are not something that exists on levels. You can still hide/show using the button on the toolpaths manager.
@@CamInstructor Thank you.
