I figured it out but I would still like to know how it could have been done with my file from the first post.

I had to add a few lines and trace over existing lines to make new boundaries but it...

Hello All,
I'm a newbie when it comes to using matercam. I have been trying to generate tool paths for a pocket but am having trouble selecting the boundry. I've attached my MCX-5 file to this...

Thank you Tony and Geoff! I was able to generate the tool paths that I wanted with both of your advice. Thanx again!

I opened it. With the way you have created the tool paths I would have to change bits several times per part. I was hoping to run the 1/4in endmill to create all the pockets. Then use the slot cutter...

I have mastercam X4 and cannot open the file. I will try to get X5 soon and check it out.

Hello,
I've made some tool paths for a single part that I was successfully able to mill, however, I tried to duplicate the part and generate tool paths for 4 parts from one blank but am not...

Hello,
I'm very new to CNC and very new to the KX1. Everything was working but I noticed a little but of play in the z-axis so i took the machine apart to clean it. Now the X-Axis doesn't...

I tried this. All the pins on the USB connection look fine. The mill jogs fine with the keyboard. The MPG doesn't seem to do anything.

Has anyone managed to get the ShuttlePro utility to recognize...

I tried to use the 3.0 driver but with no avail :-(

I wish there was a way to test the device without Mach3 - just to rule out another variable.

What version of mach3 are you running?...

hmm... I put the ShuttlePro.dll file in the directory c:\Mach3\PlugIns

I restarted Mach3 and DO SEE the MPG under Config->Config Plugins (ShuttleProd-XHC-FOR-MACH3-V3.30) with a green mark next to...
