If you're being asked, keep it general....if your looking for one, again generalize and if there is anything specific that the person could speak to, ask if they could included it. Keep it general but try to touch on the higher points of the person & position. JM2C

This is one oddity that has survived several versions... When it happens the ONLY I have found is to close Mastercam and reopen it, then try it again.

I wouldn't go THAT far...We have seats of NCPlot because of shortcomings of Cimco...it is though a useful tool.

"Fanbois" get it right

At last I heard, no, no plans for a full-blown CAD system. Probably a better question for your reseller but my guess is that they haven't moved off of that held position.

It's honestly, crazy cheap to get the full blown version if you are upgrading from the Mastercam version

NCPlot will do it as well Under Address Adjustment

Yes

The Simple Math Function in Cimco Edit will do it

In Mastercam Mill/Turn you will program your toolpaths as you typically would for any milling program....you'll work an order of operations... When taking the iof file into Code Expert, you then perform all of the operation linking and wait codes and can set which paths will be into which stream.... You can then posted them out as separate streams/files Reader's Digest version

This doesn't answer your question, sorry about that, it does though prompt a question.... Why use iges? It's technically not outdated but it is an old process that is fraught with issues and limitations, I'm just curious.

Morph between curves?

Guy is a admitted pirate and still here lol

Your description of your issue isn't the clearest, so I can mostly guess what you are seeing and the result you are seeing in this area IS correct... The Waterline toolpath is not good at cutting horizontal areas....so the wide move you see across that area denoted by the larger step is what should be expected on a flat surface you can also see that as the surfaces begins the top of the radius, the toolpath gopes back into the smaller stepovers. To me that's not the ideal geometry for utilizing Waterline. I would likely either look to a Blend toolpath or I might stack up a Surface Finish Contour and a Flowline

Just my opinion, FWIW, I have zero information to support it. I do wonder if it wasn't more of a "cash out"...perhaps wrapped up in some of what you believe gcode

Yup, for many, it's simply all about squeezing that last nickel or dime of profit....We have come to sacrifice the long term investments for the short term gains and completely overlook the costs of those gains beyond the $$$

With Autodesk, it starts and ends right there Takes me to a quote from the book "Rising Sun" I'll paraphrase it... "If you do not wish us to buy it, why then is it for sale?"

The better question is why it was for sale...

If that's the case, you are most likely only doing the simplest of work. But if it works for you, it works for you

Not unless you either backed it up manually or can find it in a z2g file that you may have made. I always take copies of my .config and .workspace files and copy them to another drive that gets backed up just in case.

That will require a post edit most likely... Asking a secondary axis to become the primary axis in a 5 axis post, it needs to be edited.

If it can be done cheaper using subtractive machining, that is probably the best way to go. Additive manufacturing has its place. It is not however cheap to get into and its best application is on parts that are otherwise difficult to manufacture. Ti powder to continue printing is $10k per 30kg I can state unequivocally that parts we print could not be manufactured utilizing subtractive methods. Even if it "could" somehow, it would be cost prohibitive.

@Matthew Hajicek - Singularity I had this issue dropped on my desk and considering the use you have in mind, I thought this may be of interest to you https://www.additivemanufacturing.media/articles/dmg-mori-build-plate-pucks-cut-postprocessing-time-by-80

You are correct, those versions has the .mtb file...
