tank you  for your  reply ,when I use this option pick up all holes like on the picture 

For me it picks the holes in the same direction

I think Ctrl+Shift+click for holes on the same vector will be your solution.

So, my coworkers and I have been looking into finding out how to merge multiple SolidWorks solid models into Mastercam all in one go. But when brought in, they always converge to the origin point all on top of one another in a jumbled mess. Is there any way to SEPERATELY merge multiple assemblies/parts into the workspace?

Without all your parts being in 1 assembly file then no.

Each solid part has it's own origin, when merging into Mastercam it merges to origin.

With assemblies there is assembly origin even though each part has it's own origin within the assembly.

I bring in assemblies all the time and it will place the individual parts onto their own level.

The bringing of part names is still an issue though, which can be negated by saving as parasolid 1st then bring into mastercam.

Gee whizz fellas!!.. How dead does this horse have to be??

This 'shill', who's been a member here since 2010, has had you all roped along for 4 pages now.

Ban him or move along!!

'Lost in translation'...

Hate to say it, but the fella does have a bit of a point. Flame away..

Forgive my ignorance here or possible lack of understanding but this looks very similar in nature to the FBM mill and drill options within Mastercam.

(DOH!! JParis beat me to it)

I hope you didn't have to go through the whole process of having to identify as a tool changer

can seem to find the edit button so I will rewrite it

Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of your post box, bottom option is to edit.

I cannot comment on your further question / issue.

Welcome to the forum 

I think the easiest would be through the tool manager,  open lathe - open tool manager - open a mill tool library through bottom window

Copy tools from library to machine group. Open new library/lathe library - copy from machine group to library.

I do this from time to time programming for both mill and lathe.

The list defaults to whatever your last sort option was.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can post with the educational version of Mastercam,

You are correct there sir.

I think some where along the line we have all done something well out of the norm.

All that has to happen is to forget just once to see why people do things like this just once.

Thanks for the effort!

 Might be worth a read

Might be a good time to reach out to your re-seller,

those questions are slightly above my pay grade.

What happens when you change 'work offset numbering'?

don't forget to account for arguing with the customer over the flatness callout on the print, when they actually wanted parallelism.

Lol.. funny you mention that, I received this in my email last week.

If you hover over a button in Mastercam, if there is a programmed hotkey for that button, the letter will be underlined.

Nice catch!!

You will find that this is the case for most, if not all, windows based program/software

A few options after  quick search. The Kurt ones look kinda pricey.

That's what it sounds like to me, but I wouldn't think a flat bottom drill would cut like that.  Maybe because the corners of the tool never touch?

I don't see a problem with using that tool. The carbide nature of the tool should give it the rigidity needed although I would think the length

would be no more than 3D

Thanks for the solution, I'll give it a try, and I didn't contact my reseller because it hadn't been as big of a bother to me until now. I also figured I would give the forums a shot before contacting my re-seller as emailing them takes a few days to get a response, and the person at our shop who has their number is out for the rest of the week.

I have posted a link to this thread into the thread you had started on 'My Mastercam' forum.
