Thats in Smartcam. But hey I'm trying to block that part out of my mind. To much Mastercam stuff to remember to worry about an older obsolete system. Smartcam was a great improvement over paper and pencil 2D but it still left allot to be desired, compared with the stuff that's out today.

I know It doesn't usually work out like this ,but "Try to do it right the first time"!

I'd problly just delete the old toolpath and rechain / regroup and recode. It shouldn't take but a few seconds. Keep it as simple as you can.

I used Smartcam for a few years! Then I moved on to newer and better things = Mastercam! The only time I open it now is to View some Very old job files, and we have alot of old files. Used SC from about 1995 till just before MC X came out. Haven't used Smartcam in a couple of months now. Haven't needed to! Switched to Mastercam coldturkey and haven't regretted it one minute!
I'm still a noob with Mastercam but i'm tryin to learn more every opertunity I get. Thats why I'm here now...... Damn my spellins turible!

I just use Mill for the wire. Tell it to use a .010 dia. endmill 7" long. Jimmy at Barefoot CNC came up with a super post for our old Sodick.
Good luck

I havent waited nearly as long as the rest of you guys, so, I can wait longer. We got Mcam in Jan.05.
I'm trying to use it to replace Smartcam. It's a slow process but, I KNOW it will be worth it.

Beak entity at lenght in MC X
in Industrial Forum
Posted
To break at midpoint
Trim/break,
Select "Point" from the left buttons.
Then "Break" from the two buttons on the right.
When you move the crosshairs near the midpoint of the entity it will put a box there. Click the box.
I forget how to do "At length"
Hope this helps.
Happy clicking!
