Frankenfab,
This is what I keep telling an individual at work about 4 Flute Emills in Alm but he doesn't listen. He would be better off with 3 Flutes 60 degree Helix.
BTW, Cool Handle, now all you need is an Avatar to go with it.
M30,
Have you gotten any closer to resolving your line segment issue? I remember now that Frankenfab mentioned it. You will have to import the Wire Frame Geometry into Mastercam as a DXF File to get Arcs from the G-Code. If you use Iges, Step or ant other it will Post Line Segments.
Cheers!!!!!!!!
