Feels too 'finicky' using the S key + camera movement compared to just using the alt 1~7 keys. Weird how mastercam just doesn't have a "normal to face" operation.
Interesting to see the comments. Good tip. My template has 4 planes for EVERY face of the cube. Thats a total of 16 planes to make Mastercam behave like ZBrush. Again i would like to see this behavior for free without having to man handle Mastercam to do this. I hope and pray it will be coded in eventually.
All we can do is make suggestions to CNC Software. Pretty sure their list is long but like they say, squeaky wheel... And thanks for the idea for the video!
@@CamInstructor i feel like with every mastercam release we find new bugs that really shouldnt be hard to find. Stuff that even mastercam cant explain why it happens. Ik its a rather cheap software and good for simple constructions and milling but it can be so annoying... Thanks for the vid tho :)
@@D3nn1s There isn't one piece of software out there that doesn't have bugs. Sure, its frustrating when a bug directly effects your workflow but I promise, the developers at Mastercam don't break things on purpose :) If you find something broken, let them know. They will fix it.
@@CamInstructor yeah sure i get that and im sure theyre busy, yet none of our feedback has made a difference yet as far as im aware. Other cad/cams ive used like fusion and solidworks are not even close to the amount of randomness and buggyness of mastercam. Tho admittedly theyre backed by larger companies and mastercam is a pretty easy program to get into.
So next pesky little inconsistency... when choosing a wire frame colour the whole solid changes colour??? Wt. thats not right. HOW can i choose a wire frame colour and how can i choose a solid model colour? Without one disturbing the other?
If you want to change the wireframe color of existing wireframe, make sure you do not select any solids when doing so. Same for solids, no wireframe selected. I'd suggest using a quick mask or something else so you only have the type of entity selected that you want to change the color of. If you select both, the color selection in either wireframe icon or solids icons will change the color of both.
Best Mastercam instructor 👍
Wow, thanks!
Nice tips Mike!
Thanks! 👍
Another genius tip. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
So useful. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
What the best to use for master cam. Laptop or Computer set up? And what the specs needed for master cam tnx for the answer.
There is a video on this channel about the best computer for mastercam. Give it a look.

Yes, it is
