I thought there was a place where I could set the default material but I can't find it...currently the material default is 2024 Alum and I want 6061...

At tool settings, u can see material selection at bottom~
select "Select" button
then ,at bottom u can see "source"
Select "Milll current" and " mill library" option
Choice "mill Library"
Select material u want or select just Alum 6061
Thanks, I know how to change the material from the default setting I want to change the default setting.
In the op manager, under the machine setup --> "Files" --> Operation defaults Options (RH ! mark near the bottom) opens the defaults page with your initial op settings
go into it and open the "Tool settings" tab, Materials, Edit --> set your defaut, and accept the changes when backing out
You can pre-set a lot of things here for all your different ops as well
...That was easy......just took me 20 minutes to see the !
Thanks
Jeesus Superman! That option was five layers deep. That's the one thing about MasterCam, you need to dig down WAY too deep in order to do some of the most basic things.
I vote you have your name changed to SuperDuperMan. You sure know your MC.
I directed you the fault free way to do it ( see #3/ )
The really simple way is to
1/ rename that .OPS file to .MCX-->
2/ open it in mastercam -->
3/ edit the Ops in the op manager -->
4/ save and then rename it back to .OPS
Problem is that many people have only one .OPS file...but some may have multiples (ie for different machine capabilities, DOCs, stepovers, blah, blah )
----oops,
I think I just opened up a series of possibilities for a lot of people with that last comment
Cheers
