    Multiple Set-ups?

    If anyone is familiar at all with FeatureCam, there is a way to create multiple set-ups on the same stock. Basically, it sets your top of stock to a different face. I am sure there is a way to be able to do that with MasterCam, but as I am almost 100% self-taught, I can't seem to figure it out. I currently use X2 but working on the X3 upgrade. The machines we use at the shop are 2 Haas VF4's, and a new Haas 5 axis that we have yet to run a part thru. I appreciate any help. Thanks for a wonderful site.

    Mike

    It says for X3, but 99% of it will apply to X2. Covers multiple setups and fixture offsets on the same part.
