importing fixtures

[depasquale]

I would like to know how I can import a fixture, ..say for example a machine vise. I used Esprit and all you had to do was pick file open>merge and the vise would be added to the model, you could then translate it to the correct position in relation to your stock. How do I do this in Mastercam?

Same way under file - file merge/pattern and translate to your location. I would also set up a layer for your vice first so you can hide it or show when you want.

I liked ESPRIT. We used it for Swiss turn, 5 axis mill and mill turn. Some things are easier to do but others are not. I like Mastercam cam so far but still need to learn all the "little tricks".
