13. SW15 to Mastercam 2017. In this new 2017 tutorial you open your SW body file in Mastercam 2017. In Mastercam 2017 the solid body is moved to Mastercam origin. Next, create WCS plane to position solid body into the correct Mastercam XY axis. Then create check solid. Units are metric. Old X8 tutorial. |

13. SW2019 to Mastercam 2020. Open your SW body file in Mastercam 2020. In Mastercam the solid car body is rotated into the correct Mastercam XY axis and moved to Mastercam origin. Then create check solid to keep tool away from fixture. Finish off with creating WCS plane. Units are metric. This tutorial also works with Mastercam 2019. |
