Why would i get this error message after importing a X_T file and running a toolpath on it in 2020?

Hi, i know with raster and surface finish parallel the toolpath goes back and forth ect.. But is there an option to do a final pass around the tool boundary therefore cleaning up scallops left by the back and forth path?

Thanks for the reply.. This is close but not quite what i was after.. say first contour at A0. X0. next at A90. X-50.,then A180.X-100. then A270.X-150. i could maybe arrange transforms with one rotate then transform but it gets tricky when you say have 100 times you want to acheive.. I thought that maybe the transform option combined both rotate and transform.. Thanks again !

Hi, Im wondering is it possible in x9 or later to say translate a toolpath not only incrementally in x direction but angular as well by a specific A value.. ive tried axis sub but its not what i want.. I just want a say circular toolpath (no ais sub) and then to be able to translat in x and a.. Thanks!

Hi, Not sure if this is possible but a customer has given me a solid model of a part.. Can i say create a solid rectangle model that is bigger than the supplied model and make an inprint into it of my supplied customer model? Sort of a reverse imprint .. Thanks

How long does it typically take for this to be released as a maintenance update to 2020?

Hi, in x9 you could get mastercam to lock on only arcs or points ect..see attached picture In 2020 is this possible? Thanks

What exacly do you mean by this statement? Thanks

Hi All, Would a NVME m.2 drive be ok to install mastercam 2020 on? We are wanting to build a new Pc and was wondering what everyone else would do to get the most out of 2020.. Thinking ryzen9 12c processor ,32 gig ram, 1tb ssd for saving files to and a quadro P2200 card.. Would this be an all round good combo for fast calculations and good backplotting Thanks

Hi All, Would anyone be able to take a look at this issue for me? Im trying to cut 2 curves on a shaft that are basically at 180 deg to each othe but i just cant seem to get it happening without an error..
