Hi

May be you need export the piece in SW in STEP or IGES, I have SW2016 and MCX9, always I export the pieces like this way.

The reason is the date of the update of this softwares, for example, MCX9 was presented on July 2015 and SW2016 on November 2015.

Thanks so much jlw

Works fine !!!!

Maybe this works for you

I´m sure that was only Mastercam,

I know solidworks from a to z

Hi

Much time ago, I saw that somebody did a section view in Mastercam for probe if the model was surface or solid, I think was MCX5

I'd like to know how can I do a section view, Somebody know about this?

Hi

You can try like the pictures, draw an line for use as mirror, works fine for me.

why you machining this way ,vertically you can make 10 times faster ???

Because we have only one machine, in this time this machine is working with 4th axis pieces, considering the setup time of the machine with vise and install again the index in this time is faster work with 4 axis.

Thanks for your opinion

Hi again !

Here is the results, I used "Rotary" strategy, was easy to use, I think that this strategy can be use to MacTurn

Other ideas and opinions are welcome

Thanks to all

Thanks to all for reply

Here is my progress, the next steps are the most important, I´ll try flowline and Parallel to surface all locked to 4 Axis (like says "5th Axis Consultin"), If somebody have a diferent idea I'll be grateful.

My machine is Haas with 4th axis

The setup and fixtures are like the pictures
