Hi guys,

I just finished my latest video training CD.....
Milling Introduction & Orientation To Mastercam X3
http://www.tipsformanufacturing.com/...tro_to_x3.html

Covers lots of great topics.
The questions that get asked all the time.

Thanks for your consideration,

Mike: Do you have anything for transition from v9 to X2mr2(running on XP)?

Anyways you can quote me if you have an X2mr2 Mill related tutorial CD.

Looks like you have covered a lot of the bases with your Milling Combo Package Mike.

Add in the Lathe and WOW!!!!

My friend loves the 3D Milling CD I bought for him. Personally I watched it a few times and found it to be very informative.

Good Job!!!

Mastercamguru: How can you be a Mastercam Guru and not be running X (J/K).

We did have a CD specifically for V9 to X transitions. It's here. http://www.tipsforcadcam.com/product/TFM-CDStartX

But I would suggest the new Introduction CD shown above. Much more information (5 hrs vs 2 hrs of video).

The only real difference is that the Older CD tells you how to Update your Tool, Material, Operations libraries and Postprocessor. If you dont need any of that, get the new CD.

Toby: Yes the Mill & Lathe CD "Job Shop" package is a great deal for any job shop that has Mastercam Mill & Lathe. Both have great samples of drawing in Mastercam, Reading DXF/DWG files and Importing Solids. All of the important things a typical shop might encounter.

My employer hadn't updated their service contract for years. X is still in the box in engineering dept. I finally updated mine. The senior programmer still uses v7.2.(ha ha) I could never go back to 7.

I already figured out the basics, but I can't afford to be slow with X2. I am looking to build speed right now. Then I'll get rid of 9 at work.

Thanks for the info. I'll check out your new cd. When a service pack comes out for X3 I'll be more apt to use it. But for now I'll stick to X2.

That service pack should be out soon. Last I was told by the local dealer that is. I would say within the next month after it has been sent through the ringer by all the Guru's, Trainers, and Resellers. Then again, those guys really get into their work so you can figure an extra week or two after they have had their FUN with it.

I can say from what I have seen X3 has a clean fresh new and inspiring look. LOL, enough adjectives in there????

Cheers!!!!!

Still looking for the program that generates the guy next to you, to guide and mentor me. in my area. That knows and like mastercam V9.1 and does not mind helping out. My mentor and best friend died June 6 of 2007 and I want to get back to where I was then. I have a few programs to edit and I am affraid to edit on my own for fear of losing what I have. Ontario Ca
