can anyone help me out? i see where a vise has been integrated into mastercam to hold your workpiece so on your monitor you can see exactly what and where your cutter is.

 

They have models on the Kurt website.

 

The old style are under the legacy models I think

here is a video i made a while back showing how i do this task to merge vices into a file, i use the Transform Dynamic to get it into the correct spot. This video also shows a few other uses for dynamic but at the end of the video it will show how i like to position vices onto my parts.

there is of course tons of other methods so my method may not be the easiest or best but its the way that i get it done.

I start with a model of the machine environment w/ the vises already positioned and merge the part into it.

I do the opposite in my CAD software. Anchor the part to it's origin and assemble the rest. Export to STEP, load into Mastercam. 

:D 

It's kind of nice being able to accomplish the same task any number of different ways.
