Here we go, verified files. Maybe these will work in mastercam now, idk why.. Got mastercam x5 file and parasolid (edit: wont let me upload parasolid)... Lets see if that works for you! IPHONECASE.MCX-5

Ok, will do. They are on my windows partition (running under Mac os, so itll take me a sec), but I'll get them up. Unfortunately, I have next to nil training. I am just in high school ,so have not had much of a chance to learn. But I figure doing a project I will actually use will get me somewhere with the software. The instructor went over toolpaths and basic milling, but not much more. Basically what I am trying to recreate is this Id America case (http://www.idamerica...roduct_id=29778) IPHONE CASE1.MCX-5

Activate solid selection buttons works even when not an IGES file (thanks!!), but i still get the boundary error....

OK, got it into mastercam and was able to do curves on all edges only with an IGES file... don't know why.. trying to toolpath a pocket and keep getting a "the boundary does not lie in the construction plane" error
-
Create > Curve > Curve on all edges does nothing in mastercam, still not able to select separate lines for a toolpath

So I am very new to mastercam (we are using it at my school and I have got the basics down), and I am wanting to create a case for my iPhone, and mill it. I have found a few models on grabcad that looks do-able. Unfortuantely, no matter what I try, any time I import something into mastercam all the green lines are selected at once- this makes it impossible to create a toolpath to mill it. I cannot figure out how to split the lines, break does not seem to work, neither does other file types (parasolid, STEP, etc). Nothing. How do I get the model split apart, without having to completely do it in mastercam? I have been using solidworks to view the file and mastercam to mill.
