Welcome!

One good feature Gibbs Cam had was being able to select arcs of one size and moving them to a new level. Does Mastercam have a masking function to select only arcs of a particular size ? We find this works well with large plates and moving each hole size to a new level. I know in the selection mode you have a mask arc function but does the mask features on the right have this ?

[@CamInstructor]

Yes! In the All Advanced Quick Mask, under Miscellaneous, you can choose Diameter and then either input the desired size or select from the graphics area the arc/diameter you are after.

I tried Gibbscam for a year . Then I went back to mastercam. To be honest mastercam has better support that can help you resolve issues quicker than Gibbs.

*** WCS changing from center of ark to endpoint of ark when using a circle for origin. ***Part center point disappears when trying to translate a part.Drafting entity short cut keys not working properly (H for horizontal and others)Machine Group Setup is un-blanking solid geometry.Getting dirty operations when working on non-related tool paths. Using wireframe geometry. (Was doing this in 2022 Mastercam as well)

If these are issues you are seeing in Mastercam, I would forward them to your reseller so they can be investigated.

What about mask function for desired 3d Zed depth??

[@CamInstructor]

For selection, use the Select All Advanced mask. In there enable Miscellaneous which gives the option for Z depth. For creating geometry, bottom right of the screen, click on the value for Z, enter your desired Z depth.

I appreciate the effort, but there's really no need for the music outside the intro animation. All it does is distract from the content and make you hard to understand.

[@CamInstructor]

Thanks for the feedback.

Please remove music after intro
