    3d stock model

    Hi

    I have a part that I am creating a roughing toopath for. I am atempting to use a solidworks file for the part and a seperate solidworks file for the stock which has a large hole in a block to represent a premachine condition.

    I do not get a toolpath that recognizes the premachined blank.

    Has anyone done something similar? Ideas?

    Thank You

    Hi

    Dont forget to define your model of the stock as an edgecam stock item using the stock/fixtures feature in the geometry pull down menu.
