Hello,
I imported a solid from SW and now I'm trying to do a rough turn . The part has a groove on the OD, and the problem that arise is when I create the tool path, my tool follows the groove shape. What should I do in order for my tool to follow the path I want?
Thank you

My settings are similar with yours, and still the tool follows plunges into the groove. As I mentioned before, I'm using a solid imported from SW, and probably I should create a geometry from this solid so I can select the chain I want...
If that's the case, how can I create a geometry out of a solid?
Does Mastercam have functions like "Create Geometry from Solids and Surfaces" or "Extract Geometry from Solids and Surfaces"?

Share your file as you can use the solid chain I see.
Toby that is whay he is doing chain from the solid it creates a automatic profile for chainning.

That is a nice feature that I wish BCC had. It just goes to show the difference between budget software and top of the line
