Nope. With MasterCam you have to actually have the software to run the programs.

No matter how you create the part (in autocad, inventor, solidworks, mastercam etc) after importing the drawing into Mastercam, you simply use a post processor (specific to the mill you are using) to convert the toolpaths etc, into an NC file that the mill can load (which will be in mill-specific g-code, HAAS specific in your case).

You seem like you have learned alot already.

Hehe, I deleted my post above because afterwards I feared I could indeed be the one who was wrong but now that you have cleared that up, apparantly I was not. Anyway, it's not important who was wrong or right, just that we all learned something in the process.

No worries, thanks for asking though. I got it all figured out and have made my beautiful part.

lol, ok, i'm taking classes on mastercam at the actual CNC Software Inc.
