Thanks Daniel, Yes I would like to take a look at the X7 demo also to see the differences,and to experiment with it!. thanks again for all the quick responses.

Thanks reidmachine will see you soon!!

Hi All I still use x6 mu3 multi axis...I practice at home and my demo expired where do I go to down load it again??? thanks.

This tool is a lollipop cutter and if you right click when selecting a tool for your cutter path,and create new tool it is in the options to create it.

another option is also,in the op manager pick the toolpaths u want to have the program #changed and then right click on one of the descriptions "like 2d contour,you will get a list of things you can do ,one of them edit selected operations,pick this,then third choice down is change program #,i use this all the time and it works without messing with the posts.

when i do this i save it as a stl in the verify,then when i go to next cutter path to verify i use this file in the verify.

when you import file in the options box check the edge curve box.

thank you ajmar!!!that was it i cant believe it after 11years im still learning and loving it........:0)

it wont go under neath the dimple at parting line to clean the area underneath, i tried all the settings i saw in previous posts,any suggestions,i tried rough and finish surface contour,follow surface,broken....what do u use and your settings,i am using mastercam x2sp1. thanks

hi all, i am making a golf ball mold and am trying to use a .062 lollipop cutter to clean dimples at parting line as they are undercut.we dont have 4th or 5th axis capabilities, so i am trying to do this in flat set-up,to do tip set-up would be too costly as it might turn into a 10 cavity mold,i already tried surface finish contour as suggested and tried all the setting combinations,so i would appreciate all u guys input,thanks for u help in advance....:0)

i was experimenting with lollipop cutters on surface model,can it only do what a straight shank mill does or is there a setting so it can go under a surface? is it only good for 2d then?.thanks for any help. steve
