Really good video. Quite simple to understand. I have been using Mastercam for so many years and just a couple of months ago I started to use the "planes" . But what I liked is that you showed how to use the gnome and change the direction so it is normal to the view.
Fantastic! I am new to this. and where ever you put the Gnomon is the Part Home position? Yus said touch off in the corner. We do trimming of 3D molded parts and I want to set it up so there is a hole in the center top of the (Setup Part) and the operator would just jog until he or she places the tool into the hole and they have set the X, Y, and Z offsets. Would I place the Gnomon where I want the setup hole to be? Also all I need to go when placing the Gnomon is to make sure it matches the axis's of the machine ( in my case Z up and down, X forward and back, and Y left to right. lastly the World Gnomon in the bottom left of mastercam GUI screen, if I only have 1 WCS for my part, the part WCS and the World WCS need to match? Sorry for all the dumb questions. I understood what you did here. Yo made it so when you flip the part in the vise when doing each different operation, that the WCS is all lined up the same way.
I would say that you want your wcs (xyz 0) in mastercam to match where you touched off in your machine. And you want your part oriented in the machine as it looks in mastercam. Just make sure your tool planes are lined up with WCS thats touched off in the machine. Ill probably make a video about this because its hard to explain through text.
@@easyspeedsandfeeds1410 I would greatly Appreciate this. I was told to never move the model, but rather change the WCS amd world to match the machine. its very confusing to someone who is just starting out nd needs to know this stuff. Thanks for you awesome videos. I cant wait to see the new on on WCS, Home position, World WCS, ect.. and how it all works together. Subbed and Bell notifications ON!

Glad you like the video. I always appreciate feedback!

Sir
How to check model properties in xyz direction just like powermill.
And which type of model file use in Mastercam such as igs, step, etc
step and xt files work best
