Issues with helix bore?

Recommended Posts

I have an older program from 2018 I brought in to 2022 and there is a helix bore OP that outputs as a spline. 

For the life of me cannot figure out what to change to get an arc-helix. It is in the file because I see the steps in the backplot.

Anything I make from new outputs arc-helix...I was looking at the CD file, but it seems correct and downstream of the backplot. No linearize checkbox on the parameters page, very little possibilities in parameters. 

Part is made and shipped, but I have that OCD need to know..........op3 in the list41-166337-A_03_MILL_.mcam

Sorry, but your Control Definition is setup to only support the XY plane not all Planes.

Uncheck Linearize toolpath in the filter settings:

Change the Control definition to all planes and filter settings to get code like this.

Thank you!!! It was making me crazy. Those darn little checkboxes. My CD is set to "all", I was flipping it to see if it changed. I never looked long enough at the ARCFILTER page as it is 99% grey........

THey could have taken that checkbox out in your version.

I think after the Holiday I'll take that one upstream..

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!
