Re: VCut startup

Add the enviroment variable CGTECH_VCUSR into vericut.bat file.

CGTECH_VCUSR—Specifies the default User file for VERICUT. The full directory path can be included.

Example of use: set CGTECH_VCUSR=C:\mydir\myuserfile.usr

Re: VCut startup

Also, putting the " dynamic  " option on the startup line of the .bat file prevents Vericut from pulling a license until it is needed.

Re: VCut startup

In our .bat file that we use to start Vericut and automatically load our .usr file we use this command line. 

c:\cgtech\windows\commands\vericut.bat  dynamic  "adduser=allusr.usr"

You will find dynamic in the old (v3.x?) documentation.  It still works from what we can tell.

Re: VCut startup

The 'dynamic' option was removed from VERICUT in version 5.2 when we changed to the SentinelLM license manager. In the past, some module licenses responded to the 'dynamic' option, some did not. When we removed it, we made all licenses 'dynamic'. Thus, a license is only checked-out from the license manager when it is needed by the VERICUT session.

The default VERICUT user file checks-out "Machine Simulation" because the simulation and collision detection options are checked in the incoming user file.

Thus, when VERICUT initially starts with the default user file, it checks-out:

VERICUT.platform (WIN, SUN, HP, RS, or SGI)
VERIFICATION
VC_MACHSIM

No other licenses are checked-out when you start simulating. When the rotary table turns for the first time, a Multi-Axis license is checked-out.

After that no other licenses are checked-out during the simulation of the default VERICUT user file.

If you uncheck Machine Simulation and Collision Detection and re-save the default user file (you need to change permissions, or file attributes on Windows, to allow writing to vericut.usr), then Machine Simulation will not be checked-out when VERICUT starts-up.
