Thanks alot for the tips

It did exactly what i expected it to. It went in at the contour that i chained.
What i want it to do is go in lets say 0.25" and rotate 360 degrees, then down a percentage of my cutter width and rotate again roughing the cut out.
I do realize its doing what i asked, i just cannot find anywhere in the settings to tell it to do what i want.

Yes i am aware i need more training. Are there any other books other than the Lathe course offered here that goes in depth without having to travel and participate in a classroom?
The emastercam lathe book never made mention of this particular setup, however it did offer a wide range of examples.

Here is the code i get when i just chain a face contour with no roughing. Do i need to change the planes?

I just finished the Mastercam X5 Lathe training book i got, and went to program some milling on the face contour and it just does the line, without turing the caxis.
Lets say i wanted to mill out a bowl on the lathe using a 1" diameter cutter, if i was to chain the drawing it would just cut the path of the chain, what am i missing to get it to rough it all out using c axis?
Thanks in advance,
David.

Seems im unable to delete my post but i think i got it figured.
I had to click edge curves on solid import on "converters" setting
Anything else i should checkmark in there if i will be doing alot of importing of step files?

Hello, i am using Mastercam X5 HLE and when i analyze the solid its just saying "closed solid body" and doesnt let me pick a single entity.
I use mastercam x4 at work and the default settings allow me to do this.
Any idea how i can change it so i can analyze the line properties in X5?
Thanks!
Mastercam Books for Integrex

Hi,
Im looking to get some books from here to learn how to program a e670h Integrex.
Looking at the different books, i didnt want to buy any that wouldnt help me with this machine, so im asking for some advice. I have very little mastercam experience, any help would be appreciated.
I have mastercam x8 and the mill/turn option.
Thanks!
