bissen00 -
To clarify, are you looking for help in creating toolpaths using Pro/Engineer, or Mastercam? There are different forums for each, and it appears that you are looking in the wrong location. if you would like assistance with Pro/Engineer, then we'd be more than happy to help. If you are looking for help with Mastercam, you would be better served by asking your question in that forum.

okay wrong forum but ..


2 ways


one..use the multipass option on contour.


two...xy stock to leave on, add what you want, then copy the cutter path and


change to zero
