    MasterCAM X5 for Solidworks

    Hey guys, need some help wondering if any of you have the same problem. I just installed MasterCAM for solidworks, drew the part out, set the tools and chains. However when I went to backplot and verify my part, my part was fully black along with the tool and I didn't see any of the machining process. Basically everything in the verify mode is appearing black, I was thinking maybe it might be my graphics card?

    Anyone else had this problem?

    I have had black parts in Solidworks if they have been modified in an assembly and have not rebuilt and saved the assembly before switching to that part as a part.

    Try rebuild. Or save close reopen.
