  8. Im trying to set up machine simulation and Im using a wcs that I created and is different from the standard top view , so when I use the machine simulation my vise and part are oriented incorrectly, Im wondering if the machine simulation only references the top view or can I somehow set the view in machine simulation to correspond to the view I have created for my vise and part so that they are oriented correctly in the machine simulation ?
  9. I have X7 but I dont see a probing tool path ? do I need to activate that inside mastercam , or is that a extra part of X7 I need to purchace ?

  22. hello was wanting to know if anybody knows a way to make a stl file a solid ? once I verify my part the only way I know how to save the verified part is as a Stl file , and then I can import it into solid works witch is fine but from there I cant do anything with it , I cant save it from solid works and then import it back into mastercam ,because theres no geometry on a stl file What im trying to do is find a way to get the verified part from my first operation as a solid to my second operation for accuracy any imfo would be helpful chris
