    Question MasterCAM Help

    Do you know how to create an exact replica of a 3D piece in MasterCAM?

    For example, if one leg of a chair has already been created, how do I make three more legs that are exactly the same?

    you can use Xform Mirror or xform translate for examples and tell it to copy.

    Cool

    Hello, mirror is for making a right hand left and situation. Xform rotate is for flipping or spinning a symetrical part. Pat

    Hello, you do not see the shape of the leg so this could possibly do either way by the shape of the leg.
    Is this a round chair or a square chair?
