  1. We here at K & S Tool Die & Manufacturing are happy with Mastercam X but we are missing and still having to revert back to our previous cam software for a particular function that we used quite a bit. It was a custom macro in our other software witch was called “CimCam” put out by soft tech. It allowed you to pick a profile and step on a radius either male or female on a open profile or closed, by simply entering a number of different values, for example if you wanted to step on a .118 radius using a .375 diameter tool you would enter the radius to step witch would be the .118 + .1875 (3/8 the ball you are using) = .3055 as well as a distance to lead on and off degree’s to cut (i.e 3) and number of passes (i.e 30) that would give you a cut every 3 degrees to a full 90 degrees. There are other things that could be gone into in much greater detail but this should give an ok description to put the feelers out there. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
