5 Mastercam CAD Features You Need to Know

 

The problem with that is it creates an inefficient path. Normally I font' care about the font so I use the default font of "MCX Box Font" This simple font creates the letters as only lines, similar to the font your are reading now, so there is no internal area. I set extend to a very small negative value like -. For instance with T , shorten the top of the Vertical line. When selecting the contour lines you will then choose the Horizontal and then the vertical. P , Shorten left side of lower horizontal line.

When selecting chain I click on the lower end of the vertical line and Mastercam understands the beginning and end. H, Shorten both ends of horizontal line. The lines will need to be selected. Hope this helps Re: Creating and engraving text A lot of different ways to do the same thing. Stick font works wells for simple engraving. Like the previous poster said I use a contour tool path with cutter comp set to off and it will ride the center of the line.

For more complex fonts that have a window I use a pocket toolpath. Need help! Replies: 14 Last Post: , PM. Replies: 4 Last Post: , PM. Replies: 8 Last Post: , AM. Replies: 6 Last Post: , PM.
