I just really started using X and love it. No problems. Got everything configure the way I like it. The right mouse button. Got rid of all the toolbar menus. Either use right mouse button or top menus. When I first started thought everything was cluttered. I pretty much have it looking like V9 menus.Did my first big(complex) part with no crashes or problems. Dont see my self ever going back to V9. Thanks Mastercam.

Hello All, My boss has done it again. Getting into something we never had any experience doing. One of our customer has the need to for us to make Vacuum form tooling for many projects they have going on. What they provide is the finish model of the part. Well they need the form tool made. For a person who has little understanding on how to make a tool for them. How does one get info on how o create a form tool. And where to begin to create a model of the form tool. And just where to begin besides at the beginning. If there any sites, or reading material out there that explains the process, and how to go about make the form Tools. Thanks Lightning

Does anyone hade a good post for c-axis lathe. (eurotech) I tried the fanuc on but the c axis on this one is programmed different. The way everything is programmed with this machine is that you write the program as if were a mill program and you double the x and make the y (the c). So i'm looking for a post that can do this which than i can intergrate into my post. Thanks Bill Raleigh, NC
