Dear Iskander Teh Owl,
Please apologize us about so many time without response. The work requiremetns sometimes get us far from our desires…
It´s a pleasure to hear from you that you was always successful with undercut milling. However, maybe we really need share you knowledge about it, and your help, indeed.
We prepared a simple model we named Contra.MCX (we put it in FTP) with some undercut milling. Working (in milimiters, sorry) with it and creating a Finishing Contour Surface operation
Whe used a disc mill, 100 milimiters diameter and 6 milimiters width, 3 mm radius corner. Tolerance of 0.025 and stepdown of 1 mm.
here in my computer Mastercam took near from 1 minute
A friend of mine have a Powermill seat. The same geometry, the same parameters took less than 1 second.
It´s just an example, in my opinion, about how much Mastercam must improve their undercut cutting comparing with their competitors.

Our company use to machine automobilistic models. They are plenty of "negative" angles.
Mastercam theorically have the necessary resources to do it.
Machining a single rear side door model, that have, in its contour, negative angles,
Mastercam took eight hours to calculate the toolpath and the result was very, very poor
The resulting toolpath just machined two little "regions", and we could not use this toolpath.
We do know that hardware resources are important but we are sure that Mastercam have a lot to
improve in machining negative angles. Powermill, for instance, do the same work faster and better.
Because that, we are planning to replace our hardware. Today we are using a P4 2Ghz 512RAM HD 80GB,and we think it´s not too bad. Not that justifies so poor results.
Have anybody get results like that before?

Active Reports, losing much time with screen shots of operations.
In my set-up sheet do not use, I can eliminate the capture screen shots when creating the set-up sheet
