There was RobotMaster that integrated with Mastercam...however, looking at their webstie now, I find no mention of Mastercam. That leads me to wonder if that partnership has ended.. https://www.robotmaster.com/en/ Though then I find this https://robodk.com/blog/mastercam-robot-machining/

and people wonder why I call of so many X5 users.... I know there are some legit ones still but at this point, it's almost a guarantee

I am stubborn

Wonder if you could still upgrade to Win7?

Why not ask right here? It is what this forum if for afterall

Many options will work but I prefer is KISS application

Win10 has wrecked havoc after several updates on occasion..might have to wind it back to the latest version

On something like that I'd use a 2D Swept all day, every day JP-Test_piece2.zip

Yup because I have seen some want to depth to the drill point and yet others want the depth to the full diameter.. Someone will have to clarify customer "intent"

Welp, Mastercam V9 was put to death in July of 2005...it did live a long & prosperous life between it's initial release date in the 2000/2001 timeframe...long by software standards today.. There is no support to be found for and most shops don't run it any long as the modern hardware and the hardware lock that runs it don't play well together... Training materials...maybe used on Ebay or the sort,.. Few people can help as I stated in that so few people can even get it to run any longer...

I'd create a 2D contour above the geometry...toolpath with a 2D contour using the 6mm Ballmill and then project that 2D contour down onto the surfaces

You just need to get one of these But seriously, all mentioned above help greatly...just the experience factor just takes some time to develop :side note: I tend to stock with only a few standard stock sizes to minimize prep and for stock availability...the smallest piece of stock that if fits, that works for the process, that's what the part comes out of...sometimes you do remove a little more stock than you might but by having a prepper block ready to go....you can have it on the machine pretty quick...plus I have the luxury of programming off the floor...no machine sits and waits for me..

A temp license WILL shutdown....that's why I never load them unless I need a new product that's in it.. a perm license barks about the expiring maintenance date but does not shut down
