I have posted the MC9 file on the FTP site. ftp://mastercam:[email protected]/Ma...C9_files/q1.mc9 The green ribbon is the one I am trying to reproduce in Mastercam. Thanks

Yes … as coordinate system (csys). Sorry about that. More specifically, what I'm trying to do is sweep as surface around the trim edge of an automotive part. The surface must remain both normal to the surface and normal to the trim edge boundary of the automotive part at all times. This surface will represent the permissible tolerance band of the part edge and the geometry will be used scribe (CNC) the trim line on an inspection gauge.

Hello All, I need to produce a csys on a the surface boundary that is normal to a surface. The trimed edge of the surface is a free form curve. The csys should also be normal to the trim edge boundary of the surface at that point. Please help!

whats the best way to project trim +1.0mm -1.0mm on to a surface that is curved and actually have it scribe all the way round the part and not skip parts.

can some one let me know if you load a part in car position is there a way to rotate the part using the world cordinate system. so I don't have to actually rotate the part.

What is the easiest way to cut a part that has two sides undercut the the other 2 sides tipped in the other direction if you don't have a 5-axis machine

can you machine parts that have undercuts on them if your part is sitting flat in the machine.

Can you tell me if you can machine under cuts if you have your material sitting flat. or do you have to tip it to cut it.

How can you trim surfaces that you have to untrim to exstend the surface that you are working with.
