How do I make the base of my model bigger.When i bring in some stl files art won,t mill all the way around things. If i can increase the base my cutter can get there

I'm trying to merge stl files together. how do i get mastercam to see both models at the same time?..............what I mean is,when I go to cut them in art machining it only mills the original model.............I've been waiting and waiting to see ART updates as mastercam has gone from X4 to now X9,has there been any that warrant me spending money on an update of my sim? Thank You

I can do that with the models I now create........................................but the art models I have are in English and do not scale or convert properly.Can't just throw away 1000s of hours of work. Thank you JParis

Is there a way to have Mastercam post Metric values even though my models are in English?

If you have art you can bring in an stl file and work with it.Most of the time an stl file opens up in mastercam as a wireframe.If you don't have art I do.I'd be happy to open it and save it as surfaces for you.Art doesn't always give you exactly what you are looking for though. [email protected].

Is there some version of X plus on here somewhere or where can I get it? Ron Feidler X4 level 3

Not really...........everything does seem to come out like a cartoon.I purchased Aspire it does a better job by far.Also there have been no updates to art.daniel92568

just go in your post and look for this setting It is set to 2 currently what should it be? This is the generic fanuc 3axis Thank You

Kinda Like That only different ..ha ha

In The woodworkers forum there is a post about Drape for V9.........It I supposed to cover a wire frame.Such as an stl file that is too complex to create surfaces inart

What do I have to do to get my post to put out I and J instead of R?This is for X4 Also,is there a "Drape"c hook for MX4? Ron Feidler MX4 mill level 3 art

using the coarse selection cuts down most of that I found by looking at help in ART. Is it worth my while to spend a lot of money to update my sim when I'm only looking for art

In X4 art..How do you bring in the file and 1...not have ragged edges every where....and 2 not have it take forever to convert I'm using art file to bring it in.I have a very very strong video card and 4 gigs ram on my puter. also,Is there anything done to art over the last few updates that will make it better? Thank You Ron Feidler Mastercam X4 level 3 ART

I guess what I'm saying is, fonts other than the ones availeable in X3. I don't like the looks of the stick letters when I need to cut them.

How can I get other fonts for Mastercam X3? Ftroop59 X3 Mill Level 1 Art
