where do I find Tutorial parts

[FTI2007]

I was trying to do the tutorial on machine simulation in x9 and it says to open tutorial part swarf.mcx-9.

where do I find it.

Have you tried using the help menu? There is quite a bit of information there.

[FTI2007]

yes I did.  I even did a search on my computer for it and it was not found. I thought maybe it needed to be downloaded from some where. Example parts use to be included with installs but I am not sure if they still are or not. If they are listed in the help menu then I must be searching from the wrong thing. When I search tutorial it just says to go to mastercam.com for tutorials. and I could not find them online either or I am looking in the wrong spot.  Thanks

I apologize. I think you took what I was saying wrong. have you tried walking thru what you needed done by using the help menu? If not, you can send me a sample file or explain what you're trying to do I can give you a hand.

no problem. I have never used the machine simulator so I was going to go thru the Tutorial that is available online to get a better understanding of it before I tried to customize anything. I just want to know where to find the  swarf.mcx-9 file is that is used in the tutorial.

Need to download the sample files. They are not part of the normal web install. If you have downloaded the .iso then I believe you can install them from there. That is where you will find files like that.

Odd...I just noticed that there is no sample files download for X9 like there used to be. Guessing they are part of the full.iso download. I did note that there are X8 sample files available to download....and its very likely that the swarf.mcx8 file is the same.

[FTI2007]

I downloaded the x8 sample files and its the same part but does not have the fixture/clamps and toolpaths are different.  If I download the .iso full install do I need to uninstall/reinstall mastercam?    whats the difference between the .zip and the .iso install

When you unzip (extract) the Tutorials, you should have a sub-folder in each Tutorial with the needed sample files. I got them that way. HTH
