ok there are 2 alternatives one is changing layer before unblank entities, then you can delete unblank entities, but there is a problem becouse sometimes there are few entities joined to your model, so you have to be careful. so de second altenative in order to keep clean you model you can delete only splines and it improve your model and the unblank entities keep in other layer blanked if you couldn´t delete

thanks, DEGMAC really I just checking a many information and I think it´s contains a little, but it can be improve if you have any suggestion please Add, thanks and best regards

Hi Dave I´m sorry, but what would be the best place for my question?

Does any body has any quoting information?, Since Design prices trough mold making process prices. any info will really apreciate. thank you

hey MIILING MAN, actually I don´t but I saw the introductions and it looks really great, at ichia rubber we have the MC 9.1 LEVEL3 only, and I´m not an expert yet! but I´m in the road,I think you´re good player with mastercam. regards

thank you billy. regards.

hi: sorry, but I´m wonder if any know a lot of tooling engineer´s skills, or topics in tooling, about: What the tooling engineer needs to know? like Security, cutting tools, EDM, cad/cam/cae, measure instruments. I really apreciate your help thank you

hi: look, I´m going to take a tooling training program, but I need to send a lot of tooling engineer´s skills, or topics in tooling, so I wonder if any know about: What the tooling engineer needs to know? like Security, cutting tools, EDM, cad/cam/cae, measure instruments

look my friend there is more information www.streamingteacher.com about you request if you want to contact me [email protected]

Hi All: Don´t worry about this file becouse you just have to change the extension but it doesn´t an executable file, is a simple change to zip file, yes, you only have to change .tpm by .zip, .iso, .rar, ETC and then just enjoy it becouse it´s really great!!!! you can change the file extension with "total commander" it´s very useful program. and then you can open it with winrar program. that´s all my friends enjoy it regards!! dhaniel

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! ...SO, THE TRUE IS YOUR METHODS ARE GOOD AND WHEN MY PARTNER GIVE ME THE MODEL IT HAS NOT WIRE FRAME BECOUSE HE ONLY EXPORTED SURFACE IN PROE THANK´S

hi: I have a problem similar well maybe, I received an iges file, but doesn´t contains a wires frames, so I really need the wire frame in order to create a tool paths, after I received this I export to Autocad and recognised as wire frames but not clean then I delete the exceed lines and merge it into mi 3d but there appear many lines and it does not too clear, so my question is if it is possible in mastercam to do wireframes of surfaces. thank´s i hope you can help me!

Hi all: I have to buy a laptop for mastercam use but, I don´t know where can I view the laptop´s specifications, can any one help me?.

thank´s iskander but I can open it
