How does Mastercams full toolpath associativity work?
Version 8’s associativity works just the same as Version 7’s, except that it applies to any toolpath. For example, if you program a multisurface part, and then edit one of the surfaces, the operation will be marked “dirty” in the Operations Manager. All you need to do is click “Regen Path.” It’s also important to note that Mastercam is smart enough to recalculate only what it needs. For example, if you decided to change rapid heights, it wouldn’t recalculate all the surfaces, saving time.
