Hello Guys, is there is any option in mastercam which will create knurling toolpaths ?? Thanks ashi

Thanks a lot guys..!! That was a lot of help..!!

can you please elaborate on drive surface on one level and check surface on another. thanks ashi

Hello , I had a question about drive and check surfaces. As we have an option for using a CAD file to define drive surfaces. Is there an option which will allow me to use a CAD file to specify check surfaces. This sounds a bit unnecessary but if it allows me this option, it saves a lot of computation time for me instead of using a CAD model for using drive surface. Thanks Ashi

thanks..!! Ash

is there any way I can open ".ply" files directly into the mastercam? thanks Ash

I found the solution to this question. You need to uncheck the :enable multi threading option which you will find in settting:configuration: toolpaths uncheck this option and you will be in good shape..!!

Thanks a lot to you all guys out there..!! Ash

How can I try 3D containment boundary..?? Thanks Ash

Hello everyone, this is my second post I am trying to generate a code for a cetain part and it gives me out the error "OPMGR_NCI_REGEN failed does anybody have any information or help to offer? thanks Ash

Hello , I am a graduate student at Iowa State University and I totally new to Mastercam and this forum In fact this is my first new post on this site. I doing my research on custom machining of certain aluminum parts for which I need some thing like a polygonal tool containment boundary. does anyone have any information if Master cam allows a custom shaped tool containment boundary which can help only a specific areas of parts to be machined and leaving rest of it untouched. I Would appreciate any kind of help offered Thanks Ash
