  1. Easiest way is to only create the 1/4 of your solid then use Mirror to duplicate each part or parts as needed.

    You can cut that solid using the extrude-cut function with a complete chain to cut it by. You can also use Model Prep push/pull and reduce the model to the 1/4 shape and then use Mirror.

  2. Back in high school we had an old German welding/ drafting teacher, much like G-Code describes (drill Sargent/ taskmaster). He would make students cry. I still remember everything he taught us (well I think I remember!!!).

    Yes drafting with a T-Square and Vellum paper!

    I had an employee retire after nearly 40 years, he didn't use computers.... he would make "quick sketches" (his description) that were nothing short of works of art. Everything neatly scaled, shaded and sectioned and dimensioned immaculately.

  3. Axis Substitution requires a different method when trying to transform rotate. You need to use "Translate" not rotate  and  "Coordinate" not tool plane. Then on the next page use "Delta" for Method.

    You can, however, leverage the fact that it is stock aware to cause it to drop into a position you'd like.

    Create a Helix Bore (or drill, or whatever you want your entry to look like) at the specified entry point, then, make a stock model.   Pocketing will use it to drop into:

    This is really useful information!!!!! Thank you @Aaron Eberhard

    I thought that for any educational versions of Mastercam, you can't post or export anything. Is that right?

    HLE or Home Learning Edition has these restrictions (can not post, can not export etc)

    Educational versions (paid license) have full access to posting, exporting etc. Your license has to include the products that you are working with (Lathe, Mill, Multi-Axis etc).

    How do you mean switchable graphics?

    Usually most systems have an on-board card for regular graphics and a high performance GPU for CAD/CAM work. So it is switchable graphics.

    If you only have the High performance GPU than it shouldn't be an issue.
