Moving geometry in levels 2017

[dannysdad]

Good Morning.

 

Just starting working with 2017 this week, (upgraded from X6) and what a shock! I do not know where all of my tools are ....but I am slowing learning.

 

This is something I cannot figure out: how do I move geometry from level to level? I have right-clicked in the levels manager and used the "cut entities" process. I then pick my entities (at this point I would hit "enter" in X6 and then move my selection) but then what do I do? "Enter" doesn't work and there is no green check either.

 

Note: I have the feeling that this will not be my last roadblock.

 

Thanks!!

to move geometry inside the Level Manger

you right click a level and select cut or copy

right click a new level and select copy or paste

all the geometry in the donor level will be copied or moved

Or select geo, right click on work area, click on level icon on the right, when it pops up click copy radio button, pick level, green check

There is a tutorial section on the mastercam webs site with a bunch of videos and exercise files

The Intro to Mastercam 2017 has an entire chapter on working with Levels

Yeah, that isn't working. The "paste" remains grayed out.

Yes, this worked!
