A Focus on Flexibility and Ease of Use
Whether your shop gets files from an outside source or designs them in-house, modeling tools are an essential element in prepping a file for machining. Mastercam X4 Design delivers efficient new tools to the entire Mastercam product line.
Dynamic Planes 
Mastercam X4 offers a quick way to define your construction planes, tool planes, and work coordinate system. You can now easily define the desired plane using an interactive graphical gnomon to establish the plane’s origin and orientation.
Xform Dynamic
Translate and rotate geometry in a single, easy to use function. The control is right on the screen along with your geometry.
Wireframe Feature Recognition in Chaining 
You only need to chain an example of the geometry that you want to use, click a button, and Mastercam automatically finds and chains all other occurrences of the geometry.
Trimming Visual Cues
To help you predict the result when working with the Trim, Extend, and Break function, Mastercam X4 provides visual cues so you can see what will happen before selecting the transformed entity.
Viewsheet Improvements
You can save every option on the status bar (except for Groups) as part of a Viewsheet.
