Mastercam X2
Mastercam X2
(OP)
Hey I'm using Mastercam X2 and Solidworks and I downloaded the add in for direct to solidworks at the mastercam website and I still can't open native solidworks files to show up in mastercam. Do I have to do something in solidworks to get it to work?

RE: Mastercam X2
Did you select Mastercam Direct in the Tools > Add-ins section? Select both checkboxes if you want it activated in every SW session.
RE: Mastercam X2
Since you are still having trouble, have you called your MasterCAM reseller to have them trouble shoot the issue?
Also head over to www.emastercam.com and check out the forums there.

The whole point of MastercamX Direct is so that native MCAD solids can be imported.
I don't understand why you want/need this but, can MastercamX convert a solid to wireframe after it is imported?

You should be able to import the SW part without the extra step of dwgs and DXF. But, I have not used MasterCAM.
