Can i make a blueprint with mastercam

[prupp]

I am very new to mastercam, i got version 9, and was wondering if i can make an actual blueprint with dimensions and notes and such. i bought a couple of books about lathe and mill, i also got design and wire also. I fit can be explained i would appreciate it, or if i can be reffered to a website that would be great. also was wondering where i could go to get some training on mastercam

thanks

Yes, you can make a blueprint in MC
The licensed MC reseller where you bought V9 can offer training

Yes, you can make a blueprint. Select create/drafting to dimension your part. If you have the solids option you can select solids/next menu/layout and pick your solid body, the system will make a three of four view drawing (ANSI or ISO) and lay it out into a blueprint format.

We offer Mastercam Training Online for version X and above. If you need version 9 training try Tips for Manufacturing you can also head to eBay and search for Mastercam, you can sometimes find deals even on the two options I just mentioned.

Hi,
if you are going to use mc for bp's I suggest you get the gd&t chook from the emastercam forum. it is a free download from verisurf. it has many symbols for dimensioning and tolerancing. a pain to do without it.
and the price is right.
