I am looking at using a very simple .mtd file to verify an NC program. All I want to do is use a single surface to represent the machine table and verify the NC program in order to check the tool does not gouge when profiling the job. I wan to do it in an NC program wit han .mtd instead of gouge checking against a surface in order that I get the green tick instead of yellow question mark for the NC program.
I am completely new to .mtd files and have been editing the examples. When adding the .mtd file it want to reference machine head etc but all I want is a single surface (I have already created a .dmt for this) with no axis or anything. Is this possible and if so how do I go about it?
