Nope, create a new WCS for your Milling origins and program on them, this moves the WCS to the part instead of moving the geometry to the origin. The caveat, if it have a 4 axis simul rotary axis cuts, I will do those in a separate file. 4th axis simultaneous and created WCS origins don't play well together. If it is however just 2 and 3 axis ops, all int he same file using the WCS hth

You will almost certainly have to break your rail at a different point and chin it from that point
-
You can enter a minus value in the distance on the lower rail box. I don't have the UI right in front of me today so I don't have the exact terminaology

2 Line method in V9, heck I still use it on occasion Draw an L shape, X+ and Y+ directions, select by geometry, if you select the X line and THEN the Y line, you will always get exactly what you want

Output the Work Offset values in program header

There is a post on the FTP that will buffer out the G10 info shown above. You "could" modify the final output to achieve what you desire I believe. -
That would have been me I've had a system in SLI for years, never did anything when running Mastercam. More of a "gamers" thing. Though I think programs like Maya and couple of design type things will use it. the CAD/CAM side doesn't bother, why, I don't know. Use all the horsepower you can use is my motto.

Would there be a way to move the screen cap to a 2nd page? I am thinking this would allow a larger cap without truncating any of the header info.

"TYPICALLY" the first thing to check If it backplots correctly and the angles are wrong, it is almost always a plane that is in error. Double check the path in question and check the orientation of the plane, you'll 'likely" find it's rotated in the wrong direction If it ends up your planes are correct and output is still wrong, you might want to have your reseller look into your post.
-
Why would you "need" to make that? You can't use it as a custom tool, you can't render it,I am curious as to why you would even do it
-
An d the unvarnished truth is yes it does but so do ALL CAM systems. There isn't a perfect one out there. There are some better at some things and some better at others but they all have their warts. The only question is can you get out of your product, what you need to accomplish the job? Everything else is extraneous.

Try solidify, see if it will give you an error. I sometimes will got he other way with a solid with bad surface, when turning it into surfaces, you'll find the bad one
-
Usually when it errors out on a surface it can't "xtractt" it will give you the option of placing that surface on level. Are you not getting that far?
-
huh? I have never seen that. I have seen it bark but always accept them. Right click run as Install as Admin?
-
yup
-
Sounds like you got the "Windows" update version try uninstalling it, go into the mastercam folder in X6, program files C:\Program Files\mcamx6\common and re-install the Haspusersetup.exe
-
Have you asked your reseller if a post is available? Usually the best place to start
-
The one that stands out to me Parallels Are you running Mastercam on a Mac?
-
How do we know that it was even anything related to Mastercam? I've never seen a "mem" file before

Talking a long time ago in software in general But point taken

V7 pip, not X7 Circa 1997'ish

Rotary programming to top of part, Bad Form that WILL bite you eventually JM2C You can always use center of rotation and then set a work shift to the top You can unroll your points at the given diameter then use the axis sub/roatry positioning for cleaner output
-
Surface Finish Project of figure away with with a piece of added geometry to use a 2D Swept Wireframe path Contour Paths is a geometry "centerline" toolpath, it doesn't respect any sort of surface tangency
-
I took your geometry and to place it in the exact position you had it, I translated on the X axis (dia x pi) /2 for the correct chordal positon Then rechained, I also set your direction to CW which in 99.9% of all uses will be correct, it really should be the default setting hth CADMAN_TEST.MCX-6

If you're just cutting the bottom and you're at the semi or fininsh stage, as that's a fillet I might try to use a Flowline or even a Finish Blend
