Situation,
I created a solid body in SW and imported it into Mastercam as an IGES.
Problem
My problem is, I cannot create features (lines, points...etc.)in Mastercam from the IGES model.
Example,
What I would like to do is to use a line from the IGES model (imported from SW into Mastercam) and create geometry using the IGES models features as reference lines.
I have also tried to import the SW model as a STEP file and for some reason, it is not opening up in Mastercam.
I have imported IGES and STEP models from CATIA V5R10 before into Mastercam and was able to use their features as a reference in Mastercam.
Solution,
Do I have to convert any identities, or can I convert solid bodies to a suitable format from SW to Mastercam?
I want to use the imported IGES features as reference points for my Mastercam model.
Thanks,
