Guys,
Help is appreciated here.
I am wondering if we can possibly create lathe polygon turning in mastercam.
If so, can anyone give me directions on how to do it?
Thanks in advance

Just a query,lathe polygon turning in mastercam.
You want to turn flats on the outside of a rotating part ?
or
put a hexagon hole into the end of a part ?
hexagon hole , maybe, but not sure??? ( I think a 3 flute tool into a square end cap
flats on the outside diameter, then a lathe with 4th axis is required with live tooling,
or
have bloody good X-axis to C-axis control and syncronised, much better than mult-start threading
You can mill an OD hex with C axis motion. You cant turn a Hex. I dont know of any Cam system that can do that. Only a few controls may have a built in Canned cycle.
