Hao,
The Surface finish Project toolpath will project the toolpath directly onto the surface, so you may see any letters your cutting in Verify if you ran another finish toolpath on it.
You need to input a negative stock value in finish project in order to get any cutting.

Reading pro/e files directly is a optional item in Mastercam X2.... you can go save as STEP format from pro/e to read to your Mastercam, IGS is another option.
HTH
A little more info would help.
What graphics brand your using?
What's the PC Spec?
Does crash immediately during backplot, or during certain movement?
Does disabling your graphics acceleration fix anything?

I found a model of a vertebrae in .psi format. Is there any way for Mastercam to use this? info on .psi file
It seem to be a 3D point cloud data file.... u can try using the File-Open-File Type -Ascii option...maybe need to simplify the format so its readable
We did a project to produce a sheet metal plate to cover an accident victim that had part of skull (left forehead section) destroyed. We had the 3D scanned image of the skull to work with... i don't know what they use to produce them ( the 3D scanned model). I don't know what happened to the guy either...
i got trend micro running here all the time...even during install with no error . if the source installation file is from a trusted source, why not do the repair with the AV turned off?
BTW, i did my install from a full CD installaiton.
mind sharing the file.... can't repeat the problem here..... see your Tool Settings and also how you created your Tool (tool def).. most probably its coming from there.
u need to synchronize the two profiles (chains) so mastercam knows how the surface looks like.
break up the circle to the same number of pieces that you have in the obround chain...then mastercam will know your piece 1 from first profile will join to piece 1 of the second profile... and so on
