    Mastermcam x4 and chamfers

    I am new to CNCing. Just built a router table. I already know how to design using Solidworks 2011 and have the Mastercam X4 direct plugin for it. I am designing a Fleur-de-lis New Orleans Saints clock in 3d. My question is how do you create the tool paths for the chamfers on the top surfaces? Here is a dwg file of my design.

    use the contour tool path there is a drop down menu of what kind of contour you like to use, select 2d champfer and type in what values you would like. also in the linking perameters page leave your absoute depth at Z 0.
