Curve all Edges not working on holes

[Eddie P.]

So I'm bringing in a SolidWorks model and trying to make all the edges selectable. So I'm using Curve all edges and boxing in and selecting the whole part, but when I End Selection and click the check mark, it only seems to create one edge and none of the holes on the part are selectable. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting that I might have off? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What version of Mastercam?

You don't necessarily need edge curves to select machining geometry, you can select solids.  Make sure in the dialog box that it's set to "both" on creating curves on all edges.

These days I create fewer and fewer edges curves....

analyze the model

I'm thinking it came is as a surfaces, not a solid

Thanks for the replies everyone. So analyzing the body shows that its a closed solid body. The strange thing is, someone from my company showed me how to do it on the same file, and when they do it, they can select all the edges and each hole on the part, but when I do it, it only allows me to select edges from one face. Everything else is still a closed solid. It's MasterCam 2021 btw. Thanks again for all the help.

I think it's a triple click on the mouse to select the whole solid. Might give it a shot.

Check 2D ot 3D. If you use 2D curve created only on current Z depth. If you need create curves on the whole model, select 3D plane from right click menu or from bottom of graphics window.
