    Section a toolpath

    Is there a way to have mastercam setion a toolpath into panels? I have a design that is too long to cut on my machine at one time so it would be good if i could layout the cuts and then divide it into two sections. I have seen in ArtCAM a wizard for this but I have not found a place in MasterCAM to do break up the toolpaths.

    Thanks,
    Tim

    2 ways that I have done this are:

    1. Use "Toolpath, Trim"

    2. Restrict the toolpath with a containment boundary
