I personally don't know how to do this but there is a function in Mastercam where you can make an STL Model of your part that you can machine. cadcam (Jay) and Mike Mattera know how to do this. I'm very new still.

One important thing they will ask is what Version of MC are you using?

Also checkout the eMastercam.com Forum. This is the official site for Mastercam users.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help to you.

[cadcam]

Is this in lathe or Mill and what version as there are a few diffrent thoughts, it matters what you are using.

Thanks Cadcam

the very important thing i miss...actually im running mc9, and its a solid mill job

[cadcam]

do you hace a solid or a surface model or is just wire fram?

[osomaker]

its a solid mc9 part. so when i try to pick an entity..i can't...i guess im going to attach the file...but this take form tomorrow, i leave it in my work's pc
thanks

[cadcam]

Post the file and I will walk you thru a way of setting this up.

[Mike Mattera]

What I used to do is create an operation (1st in the list) that drills the center hole. Then when it's time to post the code, "ghost" the operation so you dont get the drilled output.

I did this before Mastercam could do rounds. Create an op with a 5 inch end mill to cut around the outside (as the 1st op in the list) and then, Turn off posting for that op later. It lets you see the true part better in Verify.

It only adds a few seconds to the verification time.

Hope that helps,

Mike Mattera

tanks mike, i found the file, im attaching right now,
because im early new whit this, i hope you could help me telling me
what is the best way to machine this part (please see file)
thanks again



martin s.

dont sure if file all ready attatched?
the manage attachment windows appears, then, browse, then, upload, then apears like attached file, then 'close window', then im here writting this

[osomaker]

ohh... i can see the attached file...

[cadcam]

ok here is your file back there is a photo and a Stl file that when you go to varyfy I want you to go in to the option and use the File option and pick this STL file for your stock.
Later I will redo the programs for you.
