  1. Also in absolute try using detect flats and tick adjust for stock to leave on drive surfaces. This will give you the Min Max deepths of cut.Now highlite the Min deepth go to end of the figure in the box and minus your deepth of cut that you are taking. Now the first cut will be your deepth of cut under the highest point plus stock amount.
  2. When you opened the DWG file in Mastercam where all the boxes ticked for the different entities in the masking?
  3. Placing order today thanks for the help.
  4. quote: For now, we need your software serial number or proof you are enrolled in a Mastercam course to fill your order. Im not enrolled in a corse. Do I have to be to get the book? I wanted it for work,I can send serial number and any other details to Julie. David

  7. Well said crazy.Been trying to get a 5-axis post from reseller for a year and who does the Boss take it out on???? True what you say alot of poeple buy a 5-axis machine and then realise just how important a post is to the equasion. There are just so many variables with 5 axis machines and what each operater would like. Heres to the future
  8. Also if ther are trimmed sufaces on that level you will have to unblank the parent surfaces and delete them also so that level will have zero entities on it.
  9. Hi, Welcome. Im not sure if thid is what you are looking for but give this ago.Press the ALT key and the T key together then F3 this will turn off toolpath display and refresh your screen.
  10. This is a thought with geometry can you create spline from curves/chain. Then you can modify break splines to arcs??? Also when using .dxf files I like to go screen / next menu / comb veiws.
  11. I just spoke to my reseller about the books and he said get them direct from the US.The last time he ordered some it took 3 months to get them.

  19. It should not matter what tool you use. I tried what you said and i had no prob MC uses the tip as tool ref, so it doesn't matter wether its a bull - ball - endmill - drill. I can only think that maybe your retract height is set to incremental and not absolute and gouges????
