Old Mastercam X- Operations in Mastercam 2020?

Recommended Posts

So I'm going through some of the older programs here at work and stumbled upon an old file made from - I assume - X8 and there is an operation called "Surface Rough Contour". Opening it up, it had to older style tab interface unlike 2020 and found that the contour wasn't defined by a line/chain but the model. It basically works like a Waterline and cut around the geometry of the part - minus the horizontal surfaces. 

I looked all over for a similar operation in 2020 but could find nothing in the 2D toolpaths that could parallel it. Is there something that I am missing? Is there an equal to this that I don't know about?

Surface Rough Contour is still in 2020....

It may not be on the ribbon bar but try right clicking in the OP Manager >> Mill Toolpaths >> Surface Rough...you'll find it there

I think I'm going to sound really stupid, but what is this "OP Manager"? I normally select all my toolpaths from the 2D/3D/Multiaxis sections on the Toolpaths ribbon. Is there something I'm missing? Don't tell me there's a whole new side to Mastercam I've never seen!!!
