    Question mastercam 9, USE ENTRY POINT

    mastercam 9, USE ENTRY POINT, in lead in lead out. I want to force the tool to enter the work at a designated spot to contour. I have not had any success. Please tell me how to accomplish this. I have been using the arcs and lines, but that is not very efficient.
