Help needed with tapered end mill tool path in X8

[GWB]

I'm trying to dupe this toolpath in Mastercam X8, as in the photo.

The wall is at a 3 degree draft, so using a 3 DEG tapered ball nose EM to do the tapered wall and the radius.

The toolpath was made in Camworks and I'm lost how to do this in MC. I want to do Z steps as well as X steps. I have a photo of the CamWorks toolpath adjustment page for Pencil Mill,,,It allows you to adjust both Z and in this case, X

 

Thanks for any ideas.

A Surface Finish pencil or High SPeed Pencil  path is I believe what will most closely match what you did in the "other" software

What JP said.

 

But try, (even in MC) to program with a straight (no taper ballmill) or 2 deg taper, sometimes matching draft

will cause this

 

I only program(3-axis) my moulds with straight mill cutters to avoid things like this
