Happy to help!

This would have been more informative if you had started with a .step file, instead of opening an existing MasterCAM file with the part already oriented. Are there any videos available that show the best practices for opening a .step file and setting up the WCS for milling?

[@MLCCADSystems]

The only additional step you may need to follow is to transform the part to the correct orientation and locate it relative to the origin. That operation is also described when importing the fixtures in this video: czcams.com/video/q3gNmmM4SRM/video.html

I ONLY HAVE TWO MACHINES IN LIST. MAYBE CAUSE I ONLY HAVE EDUCATIONAL VERSIONS ? I DONT HAVE A BIG LIST LIKE YOU OR MY HAAS MACHINE

[@MLCCADSystems]

If you have the Home Learning Edition there are no additional machines you can load because that version cannot post code. If you have an educational version that can post code it should be possible to add additional machines, contact your school to see if any machines are available to add.
