Mastercam Configuration

Post by Appalachianspirit »

I have a Space Mouse Enterprise. I am now 2 terms into my Mastercam training and would like to configure my buttons but there seems to be limited configuration options. Is it just me or is this only semi-customizable for Masterscam? For example i would like to set verify to a button on the Space Mouse.It seems way more customizable for Solidworks.

Because companies that buy SOLIDWORKS licenses are more profitable than companies that buy Mastercam licenses, take a look at the value chain smile curve, the most profitable sections are R&D, sales&marketing, the lowest ones are production & manufacturing. Follow the money where you can make the most profit, that's the case for 3Dconnexion, serve the most profitable customer base.

By the way, you can ask CNC Software inc. to implement fully the 3DxWare SDK api into MasterCAM.
