projecting to surface with change at point

[guitar]

Recently, I created a mastercam file for serializing parts (upto 9 digits with dashes). Due to the structure of the operations, macros were embedded within the change at point features for specific entities. It works great on a 2d surface. But, once I try to project this onto a 3d surface(like an OD of the part) mastercam refuses to project the tool path to that surface and keeps the original tool path on the 2d plane even though the geometry had been moved (not copied) to the 3d surface. It give an error about change at point. Also, Mastercam does not seem to like change at point used with cutter comp off. Anyone know what the problem is?

Speaking of change at point, when will MC fix the problem with the incremental change at point problem? It would be nice to be able to use change at point for incremental drill depths without it giving us ridiculously, stupid results.

I thought it was fixed a long time ago? I remember I used to have problems with it....no problems now.

Well, that's interesting. It is not working on mine. Let me ask you, when you installed X9 did you uninstall X8 first? I have seen issues with not uninstalling the previous versions before installing the new. Maybe this is one.

I have both X8 & X9 installed. Honestly the last time I remember having an issue with this (change at point) was long ago....like X2 or earlier.
