    HELP Mastercam X2 toolpath problem

    I have in X version use Angle Aggregate to machining the 2D contour toolpaths not to have the question,
    similar method use when X2 version the Backplot cutting tool direction is not right. Is in the X2 version something must be set.

    Thanks

    If you want it to look like mr1 set the toolplane in your contour to top, not front, you are cutting from the front in mr2.

    In the older version you did not have to define the tool in the Machine Manager when doing aggerate head work. In the newer version you must 1st define the tools in the Machine manager, then select the angle head in the tool manger. To do this you right click in the tool manager and the right click options will have it.

    Thank you the reply,I find that in the X2 version if check the option "Translate NCI coordinates to Machine View with aggregate the" in Control definition , then the problem that cutting tool direction is error will occurred. But it is no problem in X version.Is there the solution.
