Thanks for all your help. I finally received a e-mail from my Mastercam rep late on Friday. He made me a little tutorial video explaining how it is done. And yes the holes were what was causing me problems, so I filled them in. I played around with it this weekend and I think I've got it now. Thanks again.

I have been playing around some more. Now I get a error: Parasolid® Kernal Interface Error Boolean Error Operation would result in a non-manifold body

Do all the entities not show up for you? Not sure what you mean?

Here's the file. I can't seem to open the file you posted. You might be using a newer version than me I'm more of a machinist than a computer guy. LOL 4132897-02.MCX

I've tried a bunch of things and I keep getting an error: Parasolid® Kernal Interface Error Boolean Error Face imprinting operation failed

How do you do that? Please explain. Thanks

I've got a solid model of a finished part. The customer wants us to make a vacuum mold for that part. It a little dome shaped plastic cover. I need to create the male shape that would go inside that part. Is there a easy way to do that from the existing model? I'm using X2. Thanks.

Ahhhh, I should of thought of that. I kept getting drawn to that engraving tab. Thanks very much.

A lot of times we need to engrave serial numbers on customers parts. How do I do this. I tried using the note function under the drafting tab, created my text, used the break drafting into lines under the trim tab, then went to the engraving option. I does not seem to work. I just need to engrave my stick font on center, 0.002 deep.

I had to go onto a different part, that one was just a rough prototype for the customer it will be good enough. But I will make those changes and report back when I run another one.

Glen, I sent the file using the Zip to Go utility, to your work e-mail. I got a out of office reply.

The 1/2 inch tool is leaving it choppy. This is only part of my program. Other places I rough with the 1/2" and I finish with a 1/4" tool and it leaves it choppy as well

They look choppy on the part. It can't be my tool holder because it does it with different tools.

I'm not cutting a circle. CONCEPT TOOLING- that is what my shape should looks like. The issue is it does not cut nice curves. They are all choppy. The sides look like a disco ball.

Here is the g-code. Does it look right? I don't know much about g-code. N100 G00 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90 N110 G91 G28 Z0.
