Jeff, Ask for them to do a "Save As.." and select "Detached Drawing" then you do not need the SolidWorks part file with the SolidWorks drawing file. Best regards, Lars

Thank you all for the kind words and well wishes. Terry, you are such a social media buff. Dave, please call. I will do what ever I can to help. MotorCityMinion, SW is territorial like Mastercam, but some resellers do cross there lines, so there is a possibility that there is a reseller in your area that sells both products. Programinator, Thank you, the position is filled (check your email).

Friends, I have accepted a position at our local Solidworks reseller as an application engineer, and are powering down my Mastercam seat. I'm posting this in the main forum in the hopes of reaching as many of you great people. I can not thank you all enough for all the help, laughs and tears we have shared over the years. This place is truly magic, keep up the good spirits. I will for sure miss this place. Again, Thank you all so much. Lars (Almost 1500 post in )

Greetings people, Immediate opening for a CNC Programmer/Lead Person in the Rochester, NY area. You will have Mastercam X4 and Solidworks 2010 on your desktop.

Interested? Drop me a line. [email protected]

ruger2, does it look right using backplot? there is a "tool tolerance" field in the verify menu that is pretty high by default if I remember correctly.

You need to scale your tool profile to 1" in your Mastercam file, then control the actually tool size in the Mastercam Tool Manager

Hi Malo. from the Mastercam help. Automatically (based on geometry) Allows Mastercam to set tool rolls depending on the presence or absence of a tool containment boundary, and in some cases, on the geometry itself. If you define a tool containment boundary, the tool rolls over all surface and/or solid edges, both between surfaces and the extreme edges of the part. If you do not define a tool containment boundary, the tool rolls only between surfaces and/or solid faces. Only between surfaces (solid faces) Rolls the tool between surfaces and/or solid faces only, but not the extreme edges of the part. See Tool roll motion on surface and solid edges. Over all edges Rolls the tool over all edges of the surface and/or solid, both between surfaces and at the extreme edges of the part. See Tool roll motion on surface and solid edges. Best regards, Lars

Hey Roger is here wfcPain, with Roger present, I just recommend you do what he says

Try, code: peof #End of file for non-zero tool ptoolend comment pbld, n$, "G23", e$ if nchsub > one, [ " ", e$ " ", e$ mergesub$ clearsub$ ] pbld, n$, "M02", e$ "%", e$

Worth a crap.... you get some or nothing at all? Have you tried "Create Curve on all edges"?

I don't think I have enough caffeine in my system to completely overview your situation, but what if you created a 2nd WCS for OP2 and just used that?

the mmouse chook on cadcams FTP site should work for you

Don't know the answer to your question, but I believe that mmouse chook on cadcams FTP could be your solution
