Yes Lucky Thats what I,v been doing all along. But thats a lot of extra work(Steps) just to do that.

Create a mill Diameter & just drag & click that sucker to your positions .....Bing Bang Boom...Your Done!

Mastercam cannot do simple facing Dynamic mouse machining. Create a mill Diameter( circle) & drag & click....There are times when the facing toolpath parameters pages verge on over kill just to do simple facing ... Sometime I would like to vary the crossover stepover amount so i can get a better finnish & shorten the cycle time!

Control !...Simply put, Lots of control over the tool paths! There are Sooo..many work arounds & tricks inside Mastercam to keep me Happy for years to come!

Thats gotta be the new stuff in Ver 9

I gotta back kathy up on dumping Mastercams hard numbering for unique level names. At the same time i would like to add unique line style thickness & color to each layer!

Is your verify Quality slider control set to low

Verify Config??????????

What a cool Idea

Webby Rules...!

Back in 1993 the Smartcam folks gave me a demo & a big sales pitch.......I almost bought it!

Man,I glad i went to Mastercam

Have you tryed to Rechain your TBC with a different start point?

Save Stl as a surface file...then conver that surface file to a solid.....

To convert a stl to a suface youll need another program like GEomagic.

I agree that the Fadals get the job done. My biggest problem its that crappy tool turret that hangs up. To eazy for chips to contaminate tool holders.& no hard limit axis Zero return with over travel limits.

I dont trust those alignment marks for axis zero.
