"try the solid works guys" I went to the site but wasnt able to find any quick guides on mastercam and solidworks. Im really new to this, but very eager to learn how to do this.

I believe we have a postprocessor downstairs on the CNC dedicated computer. Although I am really new to mastercam, I have successfully used featurecam software in the past. I just have never imported solidworks parts into a cam software program and really want to learn how to utilize the two programs. I have alot more questions to ask, but before I do, are there any other listings or websites with a basic how-to on this? Thanks again

Thanks for the heads up guys. I have now opened up the file as a solidworks part. Will mastercam autimatically snap to the pockets created in solidworks? Also, when selecting a machine type, which CNC mill should I choose? I know ours is a vertical 3 axis but I do not know wat mm.mmd stands for. Thanks again.

Can anyone give advice on using mastercam to generate tool paths and NC for a solidworks designed part? I have V10 and am able to import the part as a .igs but am new to the mastercam software. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
