Mastercam - 2023

The most significant philosophical change in Mastercam 2023 is the deprecation of the old "Surface vs. Solid" selection methods. The new interface intelligently combines both. Users now select "Chain," "Face," or "Feature" regardless of whether the geometry is a surface model or a solid body. This reduces the cognitive load on programmers who previously had to convert or modify entities just to get a toolpath to stick.
