    Simple but how?

    I need to move geometry from one level to another in X3, but how can I remove it from one level and put it on another? I am working on a multi-part project and some of the parts were drawn on the wrong levels.

    Moving Geo

    Not 100% sure on X3 but on X2 select the geometry that you want to move and then left click on the level drop down menu. A box will come up saying move or copy and then you can select the level. This is how you can change the color and line style of something. Like I said it works on X2 not sure about x3

    Look on the bottom of your screen and you'll see a 'Level' button. A couple ways to do this....

    You could first select the geometry you want to move. Then right click the "Level" button and a menu will pop up. Just follow the prompts... (the usual... COPY/MOVE, level select, naming, etc)

    ... or go through the drop down menus...
    It's just a part..... cutter still goes round and round....

    Or you can do it the other way round

    R-click the required operation to start the proceedure, select the entities, then accept to complete ( lower toolbar )


    another aid is :-
    R-click on a lot of mastercam items can lock it ON for constant use when inside a command
    ie L-click on the arc centre is a one-shot go,
    but do a R-click on arc centre and it's on for the rest of that command

    R-click or L-click on the QM icons works the same way too
