HOW TO CREATE A POLYGON USING CNC MASTERCAM V9

Creating polygons using CNC Mastercam V9 can be a complex task if you don’t have a clear understanding of the software’s capabilities. However, with the right guidance and approach, you can quickly and efficiently create polygons that meet your exact specifications.

Step 1: Launch the Mastercam V9 software. To begin, you’ll need to launch the Mastercam V9 software. Once the software is open, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Create a new file. In the Mastercam V9 software, you’ll need to create a new file to work on. To do this, click on the “File” menu at the top of the screen and select “New.” This will open a new window where you can specify the properties of the file you want to create.

Step 3: Select the polygon tool. With the new file created, you can now select the polygon tool from the toolbar on the left side of the screen. The polygon tool is represented by an icon that looks like a hexagon.

Step 4: Configure the polygon settings. Once you’ve selected the polygon tool, you’ll need to configure its settings to match the specifications of the polygon you want to create. You can do this by clicking on the “Polygon” menu at the top of the screen and selecting “Configure.” This will open a new window where you can specify the number of sides, the radius, and other properties of the polygon.

Step 5: Draw the polygon. With the polygon settings configured, you can now draw the polygon by clicking and dragging your mouse on the screen. As you drag your mouse, you’ll see the polygon shape is created in real-time.

Step 6: Save your file. Once you’ve created your polygon, it’s important to save your file so that you can access it again later. To do this, click on the “File” menu at the top of the screen and select “Save As.” Give your file a name and choose a location where you want to save it.
