how can I chain two entities such as line and elliptic profile i'am creating a new drawing I did the elliptic profile but I don't know how can I chaning whit the line.this is for lathe operation. Thanks fantasma

How can i make a radius between horizontal line and polar line 45 degrees the radius I want to make is.190 thanks for help me

Phil You are right what I want to do is generate two operations for lathe but I dont know how change my origin to the left side of my drawing to start to make the toolpath for second operation.

I need help how can i create toolpath in a cad drawing i already made i have left side and rigth side i'am able to create toolpath on rigth side for all operations idon't know how make the toolpath for my left side. thanks for y'all help

I'am beginer I need help I try to make a cad drawing i want to create some chamfers but the only way i know is with polar line. thanks for help me

I am currently trying to learn MasterCAM from the Version 8 Applications Guide. The problem is that the information that is needed for something like the variables in the Lead In/Out option is never explained. I'd really like to know what these numbers are, so I can enter the appropriate information when needed. Is there a book or manual or online tutorial that will explain all of these things? Thanks,
