Setting Up Planes -

Today in #MastercamMonday I show you some basics in setting up planes within Mastercam. In the example part, we have machining operations needed on two sides, requiring two planes with proper orientations. I hope this helps you at some point! #cncprogramming #cncsoftware #mastercam #cadcam

that's just what I need, simple, easy, short, plane English, no coughing, nice voice, straight up to the point. no bla bla bla, no technical words, just perfect for beginners.

I was looking for EXACTLY this... I must have watched 45 minutes of videos that more or less got me there but in a much less direct and concise way that left me a little confused, albeit with result. THANK YOU for the simplification! Subscribed.

[@jetharista121]

You save my Life bro thank you❤

[@JYNX2MAN]

I followed mastercam tutorial but this is so much better! Thankyou

[@shrimetgal]

Very well explained, understanding the concept was easy. Thank you.

[@demandred1957]

Very nice, quick and to the point. Subbed.

[@RcNickster709]

WOW!! That was very useful actually. I appreciate you sharing it. Being stuck home from work because of the "virus". :( this is a great way to keep the skills sharp. Another Subb here btw.

[@CamtechEngineeringServices]

Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful!

[@bmorlok84]

FRIGGIN AWESOME! Helped me out so much... question, once these planes are set, is it then that I can start associating toolpaths?

[@CamtechEngineeringServices]

Yes, planes first and then toolpath

[@ahmedjameel385]

Please explain the position of xyz axis in turning and its setting. Which is the axis fallow in turning like C plane T plane or wcs plane?

[@bimmermarco2166]

This helped me sooo much ! Question : in the bottom left corner I dont have the viewsheet 1 and operations tabs... Why ?

[@CamtechEngineeringServices]

In the "View" tab at top, scroll all the way to the right to the "Viewsheet" section. Make sure Viewsheets are turned on.

[@bimmermarco2166]

Thanks !

[@nilfernandez2873]

if you use the center of the pice as reference who could you do it

[@pako_tube6898]

Thank you very much Sir,

[@JD-fp6qj]

Very much useful...

[@conceptsken1]

EXCELLENT!

Tried many times but how did you typing on small box of arrows

[@nirajanpokhrel7288]

Hi, I create a WCS according to my need, then when I set the view to top, the axes orient back to the way they used to be originally. I want the axes always in the direction of WCS I just created no matter which view I set it to. Why is it happening?

[@JustMe-er9ve]

Should make the second datum directly under the initial datum

[@md8744]

Master. Thks

[@lynnnoronha7143]

how to get the planes dialogue box?

[@jacobhale4761]

what key are you pressing to bring up the typing box when setting when you change your angle?

[@cymrickfalstad]

just type

[@agustiar8468]

How about create origin to center ?

[@geevamathew]

I was wondering how is it possible assign a toolpath to a said plane and level. For example, I have a part that has a 2 pockets. One is smaller in size to the other and in the same plane. How do we assign a toolpath for each where the plane is same but the levels are different? Could you give some insight?

[@CamtechEngineeringServices]

You set your plane based on how you have the stock mounted in the machine. So assuming your two pockets are on the same side of the part, you should be all good with the single plane. Levels are primarily used to organize, so simply make sure the levels are active when laying down the toolpath for each pocket.

[@geevamathew]

@@CamtechEngineeringServices But when we click on the first tool path its shows both the paths for the created 2 pockets. How do we only see the specific tool path for the created operation?

[@CamtechEngineeringServices]

@@geevamathew , On the left side of the Mastercam window in the Toolpath Manager, there is an icon to display only active operations. Looks like 3 horizontal squiggly lines. This option will display toolpaths for only the one you click on.

[@aan5393]

what version it is?

[@paritoshmishra2532]

I am beginner, so the question is, how to rotate model in mastercam

[@christophersmith2852]

What, No Indian dialect? How can this be?

Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂

[@eddies6669]

what about the polar arrow, when you make lines and then try to roll them , if you change planes you cant roll in one of the planes.
