GEOMETRY CREATION
In this step you will learn how to create a rectangle given the width, the height, and the anchor position.
Step Preview:
Rectangle.
NOTE: Make sure that neither the Anchor to center or the Create Surface icons are selected.
Anchor to center sets the base point of the rectangle to its center and draws the rectangle outward from the
center.
Create Surface creates a surface inside of the rectangle. Surface creation and Surface toolpath are covered in
Mill Level 3.

[Select position for first corner]: Select the Origin as shown in Figure: 2.1.1.
Figure: 2.1.1
Make sure that when selecting the origin, the visual cue of the cursor changes as shown.
Select the OK button to exit the Rectangle command.
Use the Fit icon to fit the drawing to the screen.
NOTE: While creating geometry for this tutorial, if you make a mistake, you can undo the last step using the
Undo icon.
You can undo as many steps as needed. If you delete or undo a step by mistake, just use the
Redo icon.

NOTE: When performing a transform function (Xform), Mastercam creates a temporary group from the
original, highlighted in red, and a result from the transformed entities, highlighted in magenta. These two
colors will stay in effect until you use the Screen, Clear Colors function or perform another transform function.
SCREEN
Clear Colors.
The geometry should look as shown.
NOTE: The lines and the two big circles are broken in 2 and 4 segments due to the mirror command. To be able
to select the circle for the circle mill toolpath you will have to join the arcs.

TUTORIAL #11
Join entities.
[Select entities to join]: Make a window around all entities as shown in Figure: 8.0.1.
Figure: 8.0.1
NOTE: To make a window, select a point to the upper left corner and drag the cursor to the opposite corner
and click. All the entities inside of the window should be selected (dashed lines in yellow and black).
Press Enter to finish the selection.
Save As.
File name: "Your Name_1".
NOTE: It is highly recommended to save the file from time to time to when going through the tutorial.
