I'm getting the same Gview:Not saved error and I have no idea how it came about. I'm new to MC and had drawn a 2D part. The backplot worked well but when I went to verify, the error appeared. How can I fix this?

I've tried that and it doesn't work. It doesn't seem to be recognizing anything as the target body or tool body. Even after selecting the items.

I tried to get around the issue with XForm too . . . needless to say, no luck. Brendan, I made the model in Mastercam. It was a solid, not surfaces. I have also tried it with a model I have imported as a .stp file and haven't had any luck with either. In Solid Edge you can use this to duplicate hole patterns to more complicated features etc.

I was going through the Quick Start guide and got to the Solid Patterns feature. For the life of me, I cannot get this to do anything. I made a solid box, added a boss and a thru hole. I can't make a pattern out of either of them. Any suggestions? In Solid Edge this is a piece of cake so I'm probably missing something simple . . .

Thanks all.

I just started using Mastercam x5 for the first time last week. I am familiar with Solid Edge as well as the Adobe suite so this is a new field for me. I am learning it for the purpose of programming mills. Going through the Quick Start manual, I saw the 'creating curves' section. What is the purpose of it in terms of machining? The only physical change I can see is it changing line colors and adding faint lines on a solid.
