Instruction of MasterCAM X7 programming for Lathe MasterCAM X7 车床编程范例 （英文版） I. Import SLDPRT file and modify the coordinate system 1.1 Import the SLDPRT file （1） Click “Main Menu→File→Open”, choose the target file and click “Open”. Then the file is imported into MasterCAM, shown in the drawing area. （2 ） Click “No hidden wireframe” on the tool bar. Then the whole wireframe of the entity is shown. （3 ） Press “F9” and “Alt+F9”. The coordinate system is then visible. （4 ） One can modify the viewing angle by pressing and dragging mouse wheel or by choosing viewing plane in “Gview” option at the bottom. 1.2 Modify the coordinate system （1） Click “Planes→Lathe diameter→+D +Z (WCS)”. （2 ） Click “Gview→Top(WCS)” and “WCS→Top WCS”. 1.3 Rotate and translate the entity as required （1） Select the whole entity, click “Xform Move to Origin” and then select the outside circle of the top of the candle holder. Then the center of the top circle of the holder is set to be the origin. （2 ） Set back to a Top Gview. Select the entity. Use the “Xform Rotate” tool to fix the center line of the entity on the x axis of the World Coordinate System which is indicated in the drawing area. In our case, the rotate angle is -90 degree. Then a standard view of the entity and coordinate system should be gotten. II. Turn the wireframe into profile 2.1 Set up another geometry level （1） Click “Level” in the bottom of the software. （2 ） Type “2” in the yellow input bar under “Number” in the “Main Level” section. Then click the green OK button. A new level 2 is created. 2.2 Turn wireframe to profile on level 2 Click “Main Menu→Create→Turn Profile”, select the entity and press “ENTER” on the keyboard. Click the green OK button on the new window. The profile of the entity is created. A better vision can be achieved by hiding level1 . 2.3 Hide level 1 Click the “lev
