    Resetting the top view ?

    Hi,

    I need to make piece(on cnc milling) who need to be changed position after the first machining sequence. I'm asking myself if mastercam is able to set two different top view for the same piece to simulate the whole process.


    Thx a lot

    Francis

    Yes, you need to use the WCS (Work Coordinate System) for your next operation.

    Which Version of Mastercam are you using ?

    Here is a WCS tutorial done by a Mastercam Master (Hardmill)

    It was done in V9 but the basic idea still applies...

    If you can't figure it out for X, maybe I can make you an updated tutorial...
