    Newb still not getting it.

    Several of you have given me some great advice already, but I don't "Get it" yet. Any chance someone could pull down my MCX file and fix what I'm doing wrong? I've attached the part file, the mcx file, an image of what its supposed to look like, and what in looks like when I simulate it.

    1. The first (outer countour) is ok.
    2. The second needs to ramp into the work from the right, and I can't get it to do that. It just plunges in.
    3, The third countour is supposed to be an open pocket, which ramps into the work. Couldn't get that to work, and got all sorts of odd error messages.

    The waste stock is to the Right of the part, and I did it this way so that the final op would be to cut off the stock, minimizing secondary ops.

    If you are willing to edit the file, it would probably take 2min for somebody who knows the ropes. That way I can learn from the actual code - Picture worth 1000 words and all that!

    Thanks....
