E-mail from my dealer:
Hello,
I am thrilled to tell you Mastercam X6 will be released October 31st 2011. If you are on active Maintenance on/or before that day, please feel free to download at your convenience. You can find the download here: http://mastercam.com/Support/Downloads/Default.aspx
You're going to have to trim it so that it has nice straight edges first extend surface then create 2 parallel lines in the top view then select trim surface to curves select your surface then the 2 lines then click on the surface and drag arrow between the 2 lines and click, use the same method to straighten out the ends. Sorry I thought when you untrimmed the surface (you did untrim it right?) that it would have come out neat, most of my time generating 5axis toolpaths is spent creating or manipulating surfaces, the toolpaths themselves are very simple.
First of all you have to sellect toolpath surfaces in your case just one, then it will ask you to choose the first surface, in your case the only one then drag the arow to the bottom of the surface an arow will show you what direction it's cutting if it's wrong click reverse, set your compensation to computer, under colision control set tip control to lower rail. Let me know if this is unclear.
