We are going to select the tab and rename it ‘CIMCO’ and the group will be ‘MDM’. In Mastercam, right-click in the blank part of the menu ribbon and select ‘Customize the Ribbon’.Ĭhange the drop-down under ‘Choose commands from’ and select ‘All Commands’. Now we need to jump into Mastercam and customize the user interface to include the buttons for MDM. The default path is “C:\Program Files\Mcam2019\chooks” We need to copy “cimcopdm.dll” and “cimcopdm.ft” and paste them into the Mastercam chooks folder. (If you are working with a different version of Mastercam, make sure to select the right folder for your version.) The default path is “C:\CIMCO\MDM\utils\2019”. We then want to go into the 2019 folder since we are integrating Mastercam 2019. We need to navigate to the ‘utils’ folder in the MDM install directory. The default path is “C:\Program Files\Mcam2019\Mastercam.exe”.įor the next part, we need to make sure that both MDM and Mastercam are closed. We also need to check the boxes for ‘Enable Mastercam Interface’ and ‘Dialog for CAM-Files’, and browse to the Mastercam executable. You will find ‘CAD/CAM setting’ under Client Configuration. To open the MDM configuration, click on MDM in the upper left corner. While it might look different in the older versions, the functionality and general set up process is essentially the same. In our example you will see how to set up the link between CIMCO MDM and Mastercam 2019 but it is possible to do this with Mastercam going back as far as Mastercam X5 or forward with Mastercam 2020 using this guide. It also allows you to view and print dynamic tool and operation lists in MDM. When a file in Mastercam has operations, you can post NC code and then import it directly from Mastercam into MDM and MDM automatically associates it with the file you have checked out. You can then edit the part, edit the toolpath, create a new toolpath or whatever else you might need to do and then save it directly back to MDM. This gives you the ability to open a CAD or CAM file directly from MDM using Mastercam. Today we’ll be sharing how to go about setting up the MDM interface with Mastercam. One example is integration with popular CAM software packages. One of the benefits of CIMCO Manufacturing Data Management (MDM) is that it provides numerous ways to save you time while adding and working with your data.
