I'm trying to create this part, and think I have it down mostly, except it's not wanting to take my depth of cut parameters. I don't know if this is because i'm still trying to generate code in wireframe or what, but it seems the tool is staying in the same Z position while it's making the cuts

I think I figured it out, I had to define it as line segments. thanks

I'm not sure how many old-timers there are on here, but in Geoprep there's a way to preview your tool paths from your code. I'm sure there's a way to do this from Mastercam X Editor, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

"how to machine an area" isn't the most telling title, but okay.

or even better, if you could point me in the right direction to get some very basic training that i OBVIOUSLY need, i'd really, REALLY, appreciate it

yyeah, I don't have the means to take a course, and there aren't many videos online that cover the lathe in mastercam..so if you could just help me out i'd really, really appreciate it

uh, well do you have any idea what could be causing this problem? i apologize if this sub forum isn't for questions, i was under the impression it was

Pic related, it's the geometry of the finished part.
problem is every time I use rough/finish to make a toolpath, it just turns the OD and completely ignores the contour. If I go point-to-point, it creates huge steps that my groove won't be able to finish. if I do plunge-turn, it'll hit the contour, but it cuts torward the positive on the angles.
I just want it to be one, simple pass. start at beginning of contour>cut angle/radius>cut "flat">cut front angle/radius>done. I don't understand why the rough/finish toolpaths aren't making the cut, and there aren't any settings to my knowledge that'll let me plunge/turn negatively exclusively, in one foul swoop
please excuse my noobiness, I'm still pretty new at this and i'm having to teach myself. thanks

i'm down, pm or post the "homework" and i'll get started

Ok, more pertinent question, how do I change where the tool begins and ends in the toolpath?

Every time I try to rough a bore hole my tool rapids into my stock. What's causing this?
