  1. look here in the pst file

    uncomment the line below with exclamation marks

    pwrtt$      # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative
               if rotaxis$ > 0 | rotary_type$ > 0 | mill5$ <> 0,
                 [
                 sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
                 output_z = no$
                 ]
               if vmc = 0 & tlplnno$ <> 2, sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
               if vmc = 1 & tlplnno$ > 1, sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
               #sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x    #Uncomment this line to output rotary axis value even when it's not used!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
               t$ = wbuf(4,wc4)        #Buffers out tool number values
               if tool_table = 1, ptooltable
               if tool_table = 2, ppredtool
               if tool_table = 3, pmetatool
               if t$ >= zero, tcnt = tcnt + one
               ptravel
               pwritbuf5

  2. create a new plane at the angle that you want the C axis to rotate to

    make the Z point out of the part the X point to the feature  

    then do you toolpath

    this will force the angle to rotate to "C0" and machine with the X and y without hitting limits

    hope this helps

  3. try this 

    https://kb.mastercam.com/Knowledgebase/50654/Mastercam-crashes-shortly-after-opening-a-SOLIDWORKS-file?Keywords=solidworks

    Temporary workaround:

    1. Close Mastercam and SOLIDWORKS if open.
    2. Right-click on the shortcut for the latest version of SOLIDWORKS installed on the system and select Properties.
    3. Make note of the installation's target path.
    4. Click Cancel to exit the Properties dialog.
    5. Using File Explorer, browse to the installation location.
    6. In that folder locate the following file: sldpropertyhandler.DLL
    7. Rename this file to: sldpropertyhandler.DLLOLD
    8. Now go ahead and open SOLIDWORKS files in Mastercam.
