Configure Project menu

Location:

     Project Tree > Project branch (Configure “on”)

The features on the Configure Project menu, Files tab enable you to open and save Vericut project (.VcProject) files and save, view and reset the Vericut Log file.

    

Check out a Machine Simulation license — Toggle this feature "on" (checked) to use a Machine Simulation license from the Vericut license server. Toggle this feature "off" (not checked) to not use. If you do toggle this feature off, Vericut will generate a pop up asking if you want to turn off Machine Collision Detection. If you select yes, this will turn off all Machine Collision Detection for the entire project, not just the current setup. This feature is on by default.

If your project already has a Machine Simulation license checked out, then turning off the feature (not checked) does not return the license. You will need to go to the Help tab > License feature to check it in.
