We know a lot of information has been circulating recently about the status of Mastercam X. We’re here to set the record straight and give you the correct information. So here’s the official announcement. The Mastercam X CD was released for duplication last Friday (July 15). It will take a few weeks for the over 16,000 systems for our Maintenance customers to be duplicated, packaged and shipped to our Reseller channel. Your reseller will first receive a few copies for their office use and then several weeks later receive all the copies for their Maintenance customers. If you are an international customer that has enjoyed using a localized version of Mastercam, there may be an additional time period before you receive Mastercam X in your local language from your Reseller. Please do not flood your local reseller with phone calls and e-mails asking, “Where is my X package?” They’re working hard to prepare training and support personnel so they’re ready to help you when you do receive Mastercam X. Each reseller has developed plans for distribution of the Mastercam X product. As soon as they are available, the reseller will begin distribution to all Maintenance customers. Please don’t be concerned if you learn that some customers are getting their Mastercam X before you do. In addition to localization, the realities of distance and resources play a significant role as to when each customer gets their system.

This controls the accuracy of the stock representation. The stock is sampled at regular intervals, stock resolution apart. Use a smaller number to have a more accurate representation (which may take longer) or use a larger number to calculate more quickly (but have a coarser stock approximation). The benefit exists if you want speed or accuracy you have the control. Keep in mind this is a roughing routine so if your approximation is set too coarse , there is a possibility of missing areas of stock.
