MasterCam X6, I can not build a chain

I couldn't see the video. It sounds like you are importing a file that is getting wireframe in X4, but no wireframe in X6.

Are you importing these models from a different format....iges, step,sldprt etc ?

If you are, then go to your configuration in X6 and look under converters. See if the "edge curves" button is checked. It migh be checked in X4 but not in X6

 

Also, use your screen/ statistics drop down to seen exactly what entities are on your screen.....

pevek, I typically do what Jay is saying whenever possible , too. Just bring in your solid and you can add wireframe for just what you need for boundaries or whatever. Bringing in a model with all the wireframe just adds to file size when you don't always need it for machining. Use the solids chaining option in your toolpaths....quick and easy.
