Tech-Tip :Unit Conversion Did you know that Mastercam can convert metric to inch (or inch to metric) on the fly? You sure can! In any numeric value box you can type in a metric value of lets say 14.5mm, when you hit enter it will calculate it to the inch equivalent of .57087. You can also convert Degrees, Minutes and Seconds to a polar angle. See the table below for more features.
