Hi! Does anyone have the link for the free student download for x4? Thanks!

Hi. I have a few questions. When do you use multipasses? how do you calculate what #'s to fill in for roughing and finishing and how much the spaces are? when do you use computer compensation? When do you use no compensation? when to use lead in/out? when to use break through? when to machine face? when to use depth cuts? how do you figure out max rough step, finish cuts and finish steps when to use wallpasses? I had to take a long break from school, and sadly I forgot alot of the basics. Thanks so much!

Thanks!

I'm new to this and was wondering when you are suppose to use multipasses and depthcuts. And how do you figure out what #'s to use? Thanks

Thank you so much! It's been so annoying not being able to figure that out! I knew that it had to have been under configuration, but I was completely lost from there. Thanks again!

Just downloaded it onto my laptop and while I'm drawing I can't see the lines or anything. I have to do the fitscreen to see them- but I can't modify the dimensions. Someone told me something about how there is a setting under something called 'allow windows to set' and change it to 'maximum performance' but they didn't know where the location of the settings where. Do you know where I can find what this person was talking about, so I can possibly fix this? Or any other suggestions for fixing my problem? Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

So, I think that I need to get a new video card, but I don't know what to get. I have an hp probook labtop. I have several other CAD programs downloaded onto my laptop too. I was just wondering if you all could give me some good ideas for some compatible video cards. Also, what makes a video card compatible? Thanks for all the help!

I'm a beginner at MasterCam. I downloaded it to my laptop and while I'm drawing I can't see the sketch or anything. I can see what I've drawn once I've hit the autoFit button, but I can't modify dimensions or anything. Is there some sort of setting I can fix this under, or do you think I need to upgrade my video card? Thanks!
