    Import simple image in to Mastercam?

    I am drawing a lathe part in mastercam, I was wondering if thier is anyway, to import a jpeg picture and set it in the back ground while I am drawing lines..

    It would make life so much easyer...


    Thank you for your time.

    You need some type of raster to vector program Mastercam has a Raster2 Vector C-Hook but anything before X3 you need to buy a licsense for it

    Check out the shareware sites like doenloads.com and search for Raster to Vector. You want something that will make a DXF file.

    Or if you have X3 it's already in there
