Hello! Please, need help!
In my milling project, once 5 sides are machined, what should I do in order to machine remaining bottom side?
Thank you!

Reposition the part to another Cam file during which you rotate the part relative to the machine so the machine can actually reach the bottom. Like jou. need to do in real aswell.

Hello, Mark!
It looks like you are the only one who is visiting this site and keeping it afloat.
Thank you Mark, for pointing me in right direction.
Tried to reposition to a new document and had to select again machine, install vice and placing part. It is not a big deal though, but could it be there some easy way?
Repositioning looks like not a straight forward thing. Any advises to speed up learning is much appreciated.
Regards,
Andre

Maybe I am the one keeping it afloat, but in a year or so you guys can help me[emoji1]
We'll concerning your question dig into defining template files.
You can create a machining file, select your machine, mount the vise and than store it as template. Maybe you can also put some smart chosen frames in there to help you control the positioning more easely.
Templates are stored in the template project which you can find by clicking on the top-left TopSolid icon, then chose file and than open template project.
Success
