It's 6.7 percent slower than a laptop?????
What happen????
You could save one clik for each perpendicular line (2 instead of 3).
What you can do is creating point along the spline (where you want perp line meet the spline) and another dummy spline by selecting Xform offset contour and giving the lenght of the line that you want to do as a distance, the result will be multiple lines
Then after you could create the spline with the resulting multiple line (put tolerances to .00005) and choose to delete original
Then create line perp with the new spline and the point onto the other.
Then you will be able to save one click

If you physically rotate the part in Mastercam I don't think the planes stay associative to the geometry they were created from. Yes the geometry are moving also, it works find
If you associate your WCS to a rectangular surface then you can translate them in different view and the toolpath will automatically follow.
But tou need to make sure that everything are associated with the surface (surface from solid is not working)
Master,
Thank you for the chook, i tried it and works find!!
But i would like to delete only on the active level. Is it possible to modify this chook?
I am not familiar with vbscript.
Many thanks
I found the way to do it.
1) click on screen/unblank entities
2) select the entity that you want
3) right-click on attribute tab (lower right of the screen)
4) a dialog box will open and you will be able to change the entities from the level
5) open the new level unblank and delete the entities

I programmed a part in front view but do not know what to do now. Have you created a new gview?
if yes, tplane and cplane has to show up top (relative to your wcs)
if no, tplane and cplane has to show up front (relative to top)
If you would like working with tombstone, i beleive that you need a special post for it.
Personnally, i program tombstone as usual like vertical machine and using a regular post

I assumed this was something mastercam changed and I was just going to have to live with it. Much like mastercam changing the number 1 which now looks like a 7. I agree with you, for thie hidden also the 7.
thanks

No, my printer is black ink only, so as gramby is saying i will try to live with it and hope that cnc software will work to make this feature better on the future. Personnally i beleive that should be a good upgrade for mastercam.
Thanks for the response everybody
Yes, and the hidden line from there looks good on the screen, when i send it to printer it still bad.
I can't control the lenght of the line (dashed line) neither the spacing between line
I am X_MR2 user. Sorry for my english but i will try to explain correctly.
I want to make printout of my drawing and solid view with hidden lines in it. The result is bad because, it looks like solid line instead of dashed line (the spacing is very very small and the line lenght is also very very small).
Anybody can help me to find out witch setting i need to adjust.

Does the number “1” stick font that is generated under the drafting notes look like a 7 to you?
