  1. I use the silhouette Boundery all the time. It is the last button in the geometry category. Add it to one of your tool bars.
  2. Try setting your plane to lathe Diameter or lathe radius.
  3. "C:mcamxdocumentationMASTERCAM X MR1.html"
  4. There is a togle to turn the line numbers off and on in the machine definitions manager. machine definitions manager/edit the control definitions/NC Output/uncheck the output sequence number box.
  5. Matt, You can use the wcs the same way. You will want to pick new plane (lathe radius or lathe diameter). Ernie S.
  6. In Mastercam you don't have to pick geometry to single point threads. Pick machine type (lathe)>> lathe toolpaths >> thread >> then use the tabs in the Lathe Thread Properties window to set the thread tool, thread shape ect... Hope this helps Ernie S.
  7. If you pick the entities you want to use for the bounding box and hit enter. It opens the window.
  8. From the help; To select entities using the Chain selection method, hold down the Shift key and select a single entity that is part of a chain of other entities. Alternatively, you can choose Chain from the Selection Methods drop-down list and click an entity that is connected to other entities. For example, clicking one side of a rectangle selects all four sides and clicking one line that is connected to another selects both lines.
