Yes, you can make a blueprint in MC
The licensed MC reseller where you bought V9 can offer training

What inserts? We face a lot of aluminum and we use a Sumitomo insert in a

Use flow5axis locked to 4 axis out put for tool control use "to a point" put a point at the center of your axle and pick that after you click the "to point "radio button

I'm not shure if...

Why not just create all you letters at once in the window for Create letters
It is just like any other windows text editor...hit enter and it drops down a line put spaces between them ...etc.

Not at my MC computer today but make sure both your surface normals are facing the same way

Never let those who say you can't do it stand in the way of those who are doing it

Jay,
I don't know about Mike but I'm sure learning a lot more about solid machining
I can see I have been doing a lot of extra work Your videos are always helpful .....thanks for all the effort
...

Hey Jay I think you got your guys mixed up that part is for the other thread

I got a tool path that does what you want but I could'nt get it to work using the solid selection but if you need to...

See....I told you we'd learn something
Jay
Looking at your version of the other part I see you didn't draw any edge curves so I'm thinking I've been doing extra work all along Do you just use the...

Mike,
Don't get locked into thinking that the only geomtry you can machine from has to sit right on the part Draw some rectangles that extend past the edges far enough to let the 3" cutter go...

Contour toolpath lower right corner...Tabs button

Mostly program it with Mastercam but I think if I took time to learn them the canned...

that would just be the "window" needed to enclose your toolpaths for instance if you programmed a contour x+3,Y-2,X-3 Y+2 you would need around a 4"x4" grid and I think you may need to tell it and...

Once again it's really hard to tell from that picture but if you look at the side view where the ramp forms 2 sides of a triangle you would extend those lines to the right to close the triangle and...

It's a little hard to tell from that picture but you need to draw the ramp geometry (it has to be a closed chain) either from the right plane or the front/rear plane then do an extrude/cut to a...

I believe all Preview will show is tool motion....no geometry and because of the limited capacity of Dx32 BMDC board anything bigger than 250k won't process It's pretty basic but it's Ok for short...

I didn't think of that.....thanks Mike

In the pull down menu for create/arc/tangent the last button on the right tangent to 2 entities If that's not what your looking for sometimes you have to create some construction geo to get it to do...
