I just finished the X9 mill essentials and hope to take the Mill Advanced soon. My X9 demo expired before I got started so I used the X9 at work. The PDF book of the course helped me tremendously. with the dual screens I have on my desktop I can open the book and do the exercises with my X9. it is worth the money to take this course and gain a better understanding of this software.
Mastercam X9 Mill Essentials eCourse

This course is designed to familiarize you with the Mastercam user interface (UI) and provide the resources you need to become proficient with 2D geometry creation and toolpaths. If you are new to Mastercam, it will help you quickly develop your Mastercam skill set; if you are already using the software, (perhaps an older version) it will get you up-to-date and enhance your abilities.
Below you will find an overview of the eCourse video content organized by tutorial and respective video segments. Each tutorial will walk you through creating geometry, applying then verifying toolpaths and generating G-Code for a machinable part. This course will take approximately 13 hours to complete.
Note: The free home learning edition/demo software for this course has expired. You can still watch the videos and read the eBook but you will not be able to follow along unless you own a licensed version of Mastercam.
