The "MR" stuff is kind of a stepping stone to the next full version release.

Thanks Psychomill

X = version 10, well this was not meant to be Version 10 it just matches the roman numeral of X. but true name is Mastercam X the first of the series of X series.
Mastercam planes to introduce maintenance release about every 4 to 5 months as we are around the corner from X2_MR1 and they are already in the base stages of MR2 and looking into the future of X3 & X4.

In every maint release, you will see new features in some case large features like MR1 were we saw the intro to HSM paths (High Speed Machining), as the same for MR2 that brought us the Advance Multy Axis tool paths.

Cool Jay,

Is it possible to spice a part of one application into another to increase machining capabilities?

Ex. Lathe Level 1 combined with Mill Level 3 to Program a Multi Tasking Lathe Part. Like this one.

Well to do mill turn like 3axis surfacesing on a Lathe you need mill3 and Lathe one on the same sim, you can also lathe part of it and choose another Machin Def and them mill the part and post a lathe & mill program for to diffrent machines from the same file.

Thanks for the information. Mazatrol without a good Teacher is more confusing by the day. Not to mention that the limited time I get to spend with this guy is far in between. Setup is Standard, but Programming Conversational Mazatrol is way different than I expected. It may be time to sit down with the boss and discuss a departure. I hate giving up, but production will not wait for anyone.
