I have some experience with mastercam, however, I've kind of found myself in a position where I need a couple of questions answered... Hopefully somebody here can help me out. I'm currently using MC9 but soon to be using MCX
1. Is it possible to use a solid as a stock piece? For instance, say you have a solid of an existing casting, can I use that solid to determine where it's actually cutting rather than a rectangular prism or cylinder when doing verification?
2. This is about 4th axis milling... Am I correct in assuming that you need to create a new WCS every time you want a feature at a different A angle? What if I wanted to drill 45 holes around a cylinder? would I need a different WCS every time?
Any help is greatly appreciated
