    3d model problem

    I need help getting a 2d profile for my lathe ops from a 3d model in mastercam 9.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this easily?

    Another way is to use solid trim, but you have to have the solids option. Contact your dealer and they have a free sample file showing this they can send you.
