Ive tried to save out some solids from 2019 as step and a few others. Solidworks 2017 and Mcam 2018 will not open them for some reason. I have tried a few other of the version options with no luck. Any one else see this? Thanks

Thanks David. That looks like it made it work.

I am trying to use optirough to machine the thickness of this fixture on a Robodrill. Not having used optirough before i am not sure if the 1st(A0) opti rough looks better for cutting or the 2nd one(A180). I cannot get the A0 operation to respect the stock as it is plunging into the material to do the initial plunge. I cannot touch the smaller boss on the right side as that is connected to my rotary face plate Does anyone have any tips, tell me what i am doing wrong here or have any suggestions? Thanks much Rough_op.mcam

Z-[.146+#580] Thats how i would do it. Your idea is correct just the formating is off.

Wow that ended up being pretty easy.... I used Johns suggestion and it was for mastercam. Thanks for the quick help.

How do you model a full nose radius slot cut into a face? Picture a Ø.250" ballnose plunging in .200" and then cutting a straight slot. Its giving me fits. TIA

Dont have any toolpaths done yet. If you do you are hosed. those dont convert when you change configurations last time i tryed.

Hello, Is it possible to change from inch/metric configurations by keymapping? Thanks

I placed a file on the FTP ftp://mastercam:[email protected]/AHELL.MCX I think it requires a 5 axis to cut this surface. Is it a 5 ax path? Can it be cut on a table table? What toolpath would you use? I am quoting a part with this surface. Thanks

Is it just me are can this not be done?

I am having almost the same problem. I want my lower turret to be X+ and i am currently getting X-. I started out with the basic 4X millturn post. Is this in the machine def? Thanks
