Mastercam can now draw temporary points at AutoCursor positions to define a vector and the midpoint of that vector. Being able to use your original geometry selection to switch back and forth, which should speed up an Xform workflow. Users can also make incremental changes to the bounding box or to control the actual overall size depending on their need at the time.Īn addition called Dynamic Xform promises that users can switch between gnomon manipulation and geometry manipulation mode at any time. This gives users hands-on access to adjust the size of the bounding box by pushing and pulling on one face at a time, which creates new named planes with options for origin location. The newest interaction of the bounding box function in X9 takes advantage of Mastercam’s push-pull technology. Model preparation with toolpath associativity has been improved in X9, meaning that now when bodies are edited, only the toolpaths directly affected by the change in the solid body are marked dirty. Letting a user move or copy a solid while positioning. The function should also allow users to redefine the base position of the body being moved, then also redefine the final position on the body it is moved to. The new Solid Position function allows the user to pick a face of a solid body and mate it to a face of another solid body with a click. It works on models with and without history, imported from other systems, or created from within Mastercam. With the growth of multi-tasking machines over the last several years, this alone, with Mastercam X9 Mill-Turn, should help users get the most from those machines.Įlsewhere, the Solid Disassembly feature can reorientate and lay out all the part bodies in an assembly onto a single plane, ready for you to choose which you want to program. The latest version of Mastercam – X9 – has been fully revealed, offering a swathe of upgrades and improvements for its machining capabilities.Ī new Multiaxis Link toolpath allows users to link multiple toolpaths together to create a safe linking move between them and can be used for any combination of 3-5 axis toolpaths. The Solid Disassembly feature can reorientate and lay out all the part bodies in an assembly onto a single plane
