    Solids

    Hello
    I cant get mastercam to snap to the top or bottom of a sphere
    seems simple but it only wants to snap to the center when i try to draw a line or set the wcs.
    why is that?

    There's no endpoint or midpoint to a solid sphere. If it's snapping to the center, it's probably grabbing the geometry you created the sphere with. Create a circle in the opposite plane anf then you can grab the end,mid or center of that.
