Ive tryed running it but it says program not found .. i believe its for some reason maybe calling a sub program #9110 and its not even in my machines memory.. I assume its the same for prog #9120 im not even sure if its in the right format to run as is or what. Any thoughts would be fantastic!

Hi All, i know about creating a Silhoette boundary fo give a flat boundary of a 3d or 25 part but is it possible to do the same but with a round cylinder bore sleeve that has the pockets machined thru? There are pockets machined thru for intake and exhaust ports.. Some have an external angled face while others have an angle cutting back in underneath.. It would be handy to create the silhoette boundary back towards the center of my part at a certain diameter and then unrolling it to machine.. Thanks
