Hello all

I am trying to do C axis drilling in mastercam lathe VTL. I select drill point as shown in picture, but when I backplot, it shows as different place, is it normal ?

May be because its VTL environment ?, any ideas or suggestions will be great.

Hello all

I am just wondering if there is any way to define custom right angle head (MST) stp or stl into mastercam mill ?, any tutorials would be great.

Thank you 

Hello all 

I am just wondering if we can move work offset (G54) up and down in Z axis, lathe VTL ?, or instead I need to move lathe geometry ?

I am attaching pic. 

Thank you 

Hello all

I am having issues with Toggle display on selected operations button as shown in picture, basically not showing toolpath, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you

Thanks Paul and Ron that solve problem. 

 I am also wondering, how to define custom tool locators for spindle. There are many tutorials or videos for tool locators for turret, but not many for spindle.

Hello all

l am trying to load tool into tool locator as shown in picture, but when I simulate, I cannot see tool locator, any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks Ron 

I think I found solution. I had to define 3D tools properly (for ex lower and upper turret, proper spindle orientation, insert up for rough, and insert down for pinch turn) solve problem.

Hello all 

I am trying to create insert drill in Mastercam Lathe, Is there any way to create 3D drill ?

I am using 2D method to draw tool from level, not having much success, if someone has better idea. I am attaching two different Mastercam files.

In first file (Example 1), I think I am missing insert.

In second file (Example 2), I cannot draw tool.

Thank you
