Undercut / Lolipop tools in X7

Recommended Posts

I am using X7 MU2 and have been for the last 6 months or so.

 

I do not program with undercut tools very often but I have not had one display or verify correctly in X7 with out having to draw the tool.  

 

Attached is a screen shot of a undercut tool that verifies and backplots correctly in X6 and one of the same tool in X7.  The X7 tool would not even backplot until I changed the taper length from .12 to .25  and still displays horribly wrong in verify.

 

Please see the attached pictures,

 

Again, I am able to work around this by drawing the profile of the tool but this seems like a hassle since this worked correctly in previous versions.  

 

Thanks in advance for your help

I think that is a known bug and I think X8 does a better job of displaying this.
