faces problem

[tazbierek]

Here I am, 

Few hours with mastercam. 

I create simple block solid, and now i want draft face, so i select that option and using face selection, but somehow it looks like i dont have any faces or mastercam see no faces. In solids i see extrude,in levels i see entities. I think something is wrong with selection. 

 

 

Also i see that i cant select even entities, just 4 from the bottom of the solid.It looks like it works only on Z plane or something like that.

It looks like it doesnt creaty any solid or cause option like body, face, edge etc selection is locked, i mean i cant use it

Can anyone help? 

 

Also tried dimension it, and when i tried to do that i got warning that cannot do that probably because is parallel to z axis.

So my next question is: DO i need change planes all the time to dimension solid? I mean set 4 offsets to dimension simple block? if yes then for me it makes no sens, because in fusion u can do that so quikly and easy

Thanks

When you extrude the block or a cut, in the tab I think called advanced there is the settings for making a draft

Ok haha there was my bad because i use bad view. 

Next question is how can i select just 1 face? 

I dont want do nothing, i just want to select face and see it selected,because i can select just all solid and it turning black.

In the horizontal tool bar in the screen there may be a face selection icon

Yeah, but its locked. i cant use it 

I dont know if i am doing something wrong or what because i really lost in mastercam, when fusion even in the start was much more easier. 

 

After selecting any face it change to select all body and it looks like that

Its from tutorial of WCS. 

Next problem is that i cant change it to any plane. after trying to do that i go lag and mastercam cant do nothing.

In that tutorial they just want to click on c at face of part Name. I dont have that C and when i click on it program stop working. Same problem is when i try set TPLANE CPLANE or WCS.  

 

Guys i really do my best but really need your help with that,

Please attach your Mastercam file and someone will help you sort out your problems.

You can change your backround color by going to file -> configuration -> color.

Black is a better background color for your eyes.

You can change your planes in the cplane tplane and wcs controls at the bottom of the screen, or in the planes manager it's the leftmost area where you have to click.

 

If you think you found a bug, you could send it to qc<at>mastercam<dot><com> to get a ticket going, ,you can also contact your local reseller to create a support ticket.
