Hello everyone. I am running Solid Works 2011. Why can"t I open the solid parts directly while in Master Cam? I used to be able to and now it says " can not find parasolid data in SolidWorks file. I am still running MasterCam X4. Too busy to load 5 I hope that is not the issue.
Thanks in advance.
Bad news, you will have to save your part in a parasolid file or STL and bring it in to MasterCam that way. We had the same problem and it became such an operational deficiency we replaced MasterCam X3 with Solidcam. SolidCam is so much more advanced than MasterCam its not even funny, the tight integration is proving itself to be a key asset to our product development.
