If you dont know how to program it, hows it suposed to take 1/10th the time

I honestly would rather write code by hand then use cam programs, conversational code is my second fav because of the ease of doing it.

I have done a lot of programming too, What kind of machine are you writing the program for?

Do you know if you have the correct post processors for mastercam(the things that write the g-code correctly)?

Have you tried drawing your toolpaths manually in autocad? do that, color them and import the drawing into mastercam and use contour with tool centered over the path.

to draw paths, offset the oustside of the lines in the radious of the tool.
