No probs, we all had to start at some time.
Do you have any reference books, videos etc, even the book and fold-out
quick guide that came with the install package
The quick guide is what you want, it lists shortcut keys, customising shortcuts, operation manager components ( toolpath/solids/art ) and a few other pieces.
You also have the help files, any "?" that is on a particular dialog box will give imformation relating to that item.
Videos are also under the root directory of mastercam for reference.
Sample files in the appropriate directory ( mill/ lathe/wire/router ) show examples relating to the filename shortcuts
Operations manager - display on/off = alt-o ( letter, not zero )
shading - on/off = alt-s
fit all to screen = alt-F1
zoon to window = F1 ( then drag a box window for zoom extents )
these are only a few that exist
alt-o for op. manager , to create toolpaths a machine must be selected before any paths can be programmed, this area about the machine is where "stock setup" will be found.
have a go, look at the videos and help files |
