Industrial / Re: MC 2027 is released

Last post by CNCAppsJames - August 21, 2026, 03:40 PM

Quote from: Dylan Gondyke on August 21, 2026, 01:47 PMThis was actually changed back in....2025? To allow for divergence of plane changes via edit common parameters to push only WCS while retaining Tplane, etc.. And, unsurprisingly, there are some that were unhappy with the change because it changed the workflow/use of that edit common parameters dialog. As a multiaxis user, I have been enjoying it.

Zoffen, I'd like credit please for the 2 years sooner we fixed it than you assumed.

In that case, I l MUCH prefer the new interface for that plane change. It's WAY more intuitive as to what's akshully changing.

Quote from: CNCAppsJames on August 21, 2026, 08:18 AMSo... there's been a truckload of complaints about 2027 (as with ALL new versions). Well, I have a "Job well done".
Those of us in the 5-Axis world from time to time have issues with plane management. We forget to assign the correct Base WCS, or we want to change from one kinematic to another (A/C to B/C, etc...). Best I can recall, the previous versions forced us to go into each operation and change the WCS. For a part with a few operations it's not a big deal, but a part with dozens or hundreds of operations this is a nightmare. A certified, time consuming, tedious,. mind numbing nightmare. No More.

They made the Edit Common Parameters, Planes, work as it should.

I like this.

So the fixed functionality that should have existed/worked 10 years ago... ?!?!?!?

Last post by CNCAppsJames - August 20, 2026, 03:06 PM

The Mastercam 2027 to CAMplete TruePath 2027 Plug-In has been released.

You can access the installer through your Autodesk Access - or Here

To install just the Plug-In (I recommend installing CAMplete TruePath 2027 if you can) go here

I've uninstalled Mastercam 2026 and installed Mastercam 2027 today and will report any issues here.

The Outhouse / Re: The Official Gratuitous Gr...

Last post by ghuns - August 20, 2026, 07:39 AM

I have been using a Ø22" griddle insert on my RecTeq Bullseye for years. Stir fries, sausage, peppers, and onions, smash burgers, breakfast, etc.

It works. But cleanup is such a PITA. It was getting to the point I needed to strip and re-season it. I finally said, fuck this thing.

Wife had accumulated shitloads of points from Ace Hardware, mostly from the THOUSANDS of $$$ she's spend on wall paint the last couple years.

Went to Ace and they had the RecTeq Smokestone, a wood pellet fired griddle. It's a beaut, matches my other two, but is spendy as hell($1000). Wife vetoed it.
