I am scaling down mill level 3 tutorial #4 by 50% to fit my machine. I changed tools to something smaller to fit the part as well. I get a Toolpath Locked on the surface finish Blend, my 4th operation. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks, Steve

I found all of the answers in the Mastercam Art Training Tutorial, chapter 5. Basically Art has a hook to import grayscale pictures (New art base surfaces from image...), You maximize for contrast, pick a height range, size for your machine, click Art base surface attrigutes and create a bounding box. After the image is in you use xform in Art to mirror Z and set Active base surf top to z plane. Pick your machine and set up the cuts with Art toolpath active art base surfaace. Select your tool, post and machine.

I am new to MasterCAM Art. I have started a new session and imported the girl.bmp sample file. I set the view to isometric and maximized the screen. I read in the sales literature that it is a one click to create a 3-D surface from the shading of the picture. Can anybody point me in the correct direction on exact steps to puff up the image, create a tool path and view in verify? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I went crazy for three days with not being able to start the software. My sales contact provided me with the following link which worked the first time. http://www.mastercam.com/Support/TechTips/...01_unistall.htm I reinstalled and things worked perfectly. Thanks a million "Mark"

I keep getting this error message every time I try to log into Mastercam. Does anyone have a solution?
