please help. ive read the help section in mcam and searches page after page in this section.

i have a part that needs a radius put on it. i model the part in sworks and save as a parisolid and import into mcam.

i have to raduis a corner on a surface between two walls. i modeled it with the fillets needed, so i could pick on surfaces to cut.

but for the life of me i can not get the radial point???? a buddy of mine showed me real fast on mc9(im using X5) and did one of the edges for me, it was all the time he had yesterday. but could not get anything to work at my shop

please help.

also, my mcam training is up(been a year and i still suck). I model everything in sw and program in mcam. would it be worth paying for another year? i still have to get better on the lathe, but have not been able to figure out how to use a model to do the lathe profile. and on the mill side, i still have to take features away so i have straight lines to pick geo from. so sometimes i have to program 4 or 5 times to get one part??

and lastly, is there anyone in fresno, CA that would be willing to sit down with me and give me some hands on training???? im struggling, my machine has been sitting for a day and a half, going in today and sunday on my own time to get this project finished.

thanks in advance
forever newbie programmer,

Uploading your solid model might help.

how do you do that? do you have to save it to photobucket first????
