<strong>Mastercam</strong> X2 MR1 Release Highlights (cont.)<br />
Multiaxis Enhancements<br />
<strong>Mastercam</strong>’s 5-axis Flowline toolpath now supports<br />
undercuts. On complicated files where controlling<br />
the normal direction of the surfaces are cumbersome,<br />
<strong>Mastercam</strong> has an option to either allow undercuts or<br />
ignore the surface normal direction.<br />
The Advanced Multiaxis toolpaths have also been<br />
improved to support solid geometry. When a solid<br />
model is present, <strong>Mastercam</strong> provides the option to<br />
select solid geometry.<br />
Viewsheets<br />
New to <strong>Mastercam</strong>, viewsheets will save you time<br />
when working with multiple views or with different<br />
levels at the same time. Viewsheets let you create and<br />
save multiple user-defined sheets. Each sheet consists<br />
of the view orientation, zoom scale, and visible levels<br />
of the part. You can also create bookmarks to save a<br />
specific state inside the viewsheet and recall it later.<br />
<strong>Mastercam</strong> saves the current view orientation, zoom,<br />
and visible level information each time you move<br />
from one viewsheet to another.<br />
Additional MR1 Enhancements<br />
• Z Oscillation contour type is added to minimize<br />
tool wear. Z Oscillation is especially useful when<br />
cutting thinner materials or laminated materials.<br />
• The high speed Scallop toolpath has been<br />
enhanced to optimize toolpath retracts during<br />
shallow applications.<br />
• The high speed toolpath modifications allow<br />
you to control when automatic feeds, speeds,<br />
stepovers, and stepdowns are calculated.
