*This version is for use with X4. For the X4-MU1/MU2/MU3 version - go to the X4-MU1 or X4-MU2 or X4-MU2 AddOns downloads.

Instructions:

This Add-On is a Create Spiral function with a variable pitch option.
It is very similar to the built-in Create Spiral function in Mastercam, with these differences...

  • You have explicit control of the height of the spiral.
  • You have explicit control of the minor/major diameter of the spiral.
  • The (XY) pitch is constant, where the built-in Spiral command has Initial/Final Pitch settings.

To install...

  1. Download the .ZIP file to a temporary folder.
  2. Unzip the files.
  3. Run the .EXE installer package.
