I am trying to post out a 4th axis program I created with mastercam X5. It is a square part I am skimming 4 sides when it posts out I get the first pass has A0 but the other pass just add g55, g56 g57 with A0.
I have a 4th axis post and my Zero is center of the axis. Also when I back plot the tool move around the part. It varifies a good part. Any help would be appreciated.

Same way under file - file merge/pattern and translate to your location. I would also set up a layer for your vice first so you can hide it or show when you want.
If you do a google search, you will get a result with images find a good bmp file you like and use the chook res2vec.dll to turn it into a vector file that you can then machine. Works great I use it all the time.

I have a solid of a casting I want to use as material. It was given to me as a surfaces and in metric. I converted it to a solid worked fine. Scaled it by a factor of .03937 to bring it English and the part is all jagged. Is there a setting I'm missing for tolerances.

MasterCam is back. Chris you were right I looked at in a different plane and there it is. Now I feel like a newbie. Thanks guys for your help as alwways. have a great day.

The model is visible, I tried fit screen and even changed the back ground color to see if that would help, but it did not. I tried to load X5 mu1 and ran into a new issue I don't have access to MasterCam and I have to wait for the reseller to get in. This morning starting out great.
I am trying to apply turn profile to a solid model supplied to me by my customer. After it ran, I check levels the entities are there but there is nothing on the screen, has any body ran into this one.

I have not seen anything like that. But sounds like you could have a new product line.

When I run glass I use a Grizzly dust collector to get as much as I can. I also use those white cloth filters for AC and heating units on my coolant tank to filter out the particles going into the tank. It works pretty well, I haven't had dump the tank after using a filter. It also works when I cut cast iron.
I want to take my 3d model that is just the 1 entity and have all lines and arc put back so I can select the for milling. I know I can select the edges of a solid but I want to make a 3d line chain.
any help would be appreciated.

I own and operate RayGinn Mfg with my wife Shirley. We run the latest MaterCam X5 mill level 3 and turning. We have 4 vertical machining centers and a Okuma LB15 lathe. I've been doing this for over 30 years.
I am trying to break the edges on part on a Haas 4th axis rotary. I tried various techniques but I have not had any luck. Any help would be appreciated.
I am using X5 mill level 3 with multi axis. Thanks again for all the help in the past.

I just purchased a SpacePilot off ebay does anybody know how to set it up to use with X4 and XP? I plugged it in and it found it with no errors. Do I have to tell MasterCam I am using it? and what drive do I use off the 3dconnection web site is does not list MasterCam?
