    Master-Cam

    I have a cad file that I'm trying to get dimensions from. When I get the file up on Master-cam it wont let me do anything to it. I would like to mill the part but don't know what I'm doing wrong?

    if it is wire frame . you are saying you can not go to create drafting dim for example and pick endpoints and create a dim?
    Sorry another question what version of Mastercam are you using?

    its Mastercam x What i'm trying to do is take a drawing that has been converted to a MXC file. I found out how to get the Dim. but now I can't creat a contour tool path. I would like to get it layed out, produce the g-codes and take it to school and try to run it.

    Share the file as I have really no idea what you are playing with.
