![]() ![]() ![]() When working with parts that may have more than one operation based on the side of the part we are working on, the tool / construction planes need to be oriented based on how the part is being positioned in the machine. We must also consider this behavior when creating tool and construction planes in Mastercam. The X positive direction would typically go to the operator’s right and the Y positive direction would be away from the operator or toward the back of the machine. ![]() This is also represented by the motion in common vertical CNC milling machines. The Mastercam X,Y,Z coordinates system also follows right-hand rule whereas X positive moves from the left to the right of the origin. When working with Mastercam, it is helpful to remember that we are working in a Cartesian coordinate system with regard to an X,Y,Z origin. In this article, we will discuss Cartesian coordinates along with X,Y,Z orientation in Mastercam’s Planes Manager. ![]()
