The Mastercam surface normal setting feature functions well for what it is designed for. It allows you to select all surfaces and set the normals relative to the current Cplane direction. The ability to set all surface normals independent of plane direction is one of many tools that Moldplus software offers. For the world of 5-axis machining as well as to write/export correct STL files with all faces pointing in the outward direction, this tool comes in handy. If you have to to set normals on lots of surfaces regularly, the solution is available today from us and should be worth your time and money. You can purchase the Moldplus 5-axis Toolkit alone. Check out our web site and videos related to the toolkit on that page. You can also try out our software if you prefer.Moldplus 5-axis Toolkit The different software levels we offer allow you to invest in just the right solution/s needed for you.

Ways/tricks to use your current/existing tools to get your job done are always good! As users, you always find the best ways - no doubt and no arguments. Our solutions are beneficial for clients needing to create the surface boundary/part edges of several surfaces in one click - as 3D o 2D edges. Same works for single surfaces also. Regards

Using Moldplus - you can create 3D part-edge curves OR 2D part-edge curves on a desired plane. No need to create all edges of all surfaces. Please contact your local Mastercam reseller for more details.

Hi Using Moldplus, you can create 2D part edges(projected as splines, lines OR lines and arcs to a set Z height) or 3D part edges (splines or lines) to create the boundaries for your surface models. Once that is done, you can use the Mastercam offset contour feature to create the contours with the desired offset for your 2D contours. Please check with your local Mastercam reseller for more information regarding Moldplus. Regards

Hi With Moldplus (add-on for Mastercam), you can perform Draft Angle Analysis. In addition to analysis, the surfaces are also trimmed using the analysis angles if needed. Works in Mastercam 9.1 Regards

Hi Please note that there is no feature recognition from CATIA V4 files. Therefore, no drill features (reamed and tapped holes) will be marked when importing the CATIA file. CATIA V5 files however will work. You can still set the reamed and tapped holes using the Set Features functionality of ProDrill. Any questions, please contact your local reseller or email the file to [email protected] with the type of drilling work that needs to be done. The more the information, the better. Also, if you did review the ProDrill Quick Start Guide, you should be able to use the software to give you the results you want. Regards
