I have played with a fairly inexpensive arm "Micro Scribe". Works well with Mastercam but I don't know the exact price off hand. Good Luck

For me the best part of the toolpath, surface project, blend, 3D is that you are never, ever so politely reminded that the surfaces do not lie in a row. This is an awsome toolpath though, you can have the flowline surface finish you are looking for while saving you time spent on creating surfaces just so you can run a flowline toolpath and then project it onto the less than perfect surfaces brought in from another package.
-
Tool Containment Boundaries are not an option in the flowline toolpath. However you are able to use the old fashioned trim function.

Be wary, sim transfer is a very large percentage of the original cost of the seat. Depending on what you pay for the seat you can still save thousands on a mill level 3. If a bear is using an unlicensed seat of mastercam in the woods and nobody is there to witness it... Yes he would be breaking the law.
-
If you are not comfortable using the wcs yet you can still setup named views just like in V8. If you are looking at changing the origin for a single toolpath you can do that in the t/c plane button on the tool parameter page. live long and prosper

Do you have the depths cuts in incremental or absolute mode? If it is incremental it is incremental to the highest point of the surfaces you have as drive surfaces. If you have it set absolute????? good luck
-
On your rough paralell toolpath it is getting the first cut depth fron the depth cuts page, which is accesable from the last parameter page and hit the button named depth cuts. As far as your verify it sounds like changing your stock definition would get you going. good luck
-
Another option is to create all the toolpaths to finish the job. Then use the toolpath, next menu trim function and chain the outside of your part and the clamps. You will need to offset the geometry of the clamp the radius of your tool but this allows you to ensure multiple toolpaths will not gouge your clamps, you may have to use more than one trim operations if you are using many tools. good luck

LOLLIPOP SURFACING NEG DRAFT

You can also do an undercut with other surface toolpaths, parralell, if you set your tplane to top and cplane to perpendicular to the surface. It would probably be best if you sent it in to your reseller or post the file on the ftp site. good luck -
Extend your surfaces or make your tool containment boundary much larger than it needs to be and use the toolpath, next menu, trim function.

The second 02, is this a diameter or a height offset or both? Thanks for the help
-
on a Dynapath when you do a spindle start the code should look like this, N100(9)M06T0200$ N104(9)M03T0202S2000$ WHEN IT DOES THE TOOL CALL THE SECOND TIME WHAT DOES THE SECOND "02" MEAN. IS THIS A DIAMETER OR A LENGTH OFFSET? IF SO WHICH ONE?
