Verify Lathe Stock flip

[Edgerr]

When using "Stock flip", I can backplot and see the part change possition. But when I verify, the flip is not preformed. Did I overlook something?

 

Thanks,

Not from what I can tell the flip stock on works on Back-Plot and not Verfiy. Could be wrong but seen the same results.

If you select only the operations after the stock flip and verify it will show the stock correctly; otherwise you get the mess you have now. Thanks to my man Brendan for turning me on to that little fact.

Thanks Chris I will give that a try.

I thought you told me???

I don't remember now but I'm pretty sure that you found that one first...doesn't really matter, I guess.

 

How's the eyeball?

Thanks Chris,

 

Thats an improvement. But if I needed to retain the features on the first side...

Is that possible?

Assuming you are using V9.1 or higher [don't know about V9.0] the Verify stock should show the features from the first side when doing the second side ops

Chris is right here,they made a change in verify for v9.1 that works a lot better.

Before,if you had stock defined with an i.d. hole in it,verify wouldn't even show it!

[Edgerr]

That's what it looks like. The back side reverts to the basic stock dimentions. And this is V9.1 ...

Edgerr,

 

You could try to save the verified image of the toolpaths before the stock flip as an STL file. Than X-form the STL file using the File-Converters-STL menu and overwrite the original STL from Verify. This can be done to show the part after the first set of operations but just before the stock flip occurs. Then just verify the ops after the stock flip but use the STL of the front side ops. HTH

Does this mean you still aren't able to come in for Solids training? I noticed you've been posting here on the forum for a little while now. Are you having any difficulty running Mcam? Are you able to drive for longer distances? Let me know as we have the Solids class coming up at the end of next week.

Pete,I will be there on the 16th and 17th of this month.

It's just that the light bothers my eyes,and i still see blury.

with both eyes open i can see ok.

[chris m]

You should not need to deal with STL files at all for this. I use Lathe every day and have verified perfectly using the method layed out here (as has Brendan) many times. Either I'm not communicating what you need to do properly or there is something going on with your box

[Edgerr]

Thanks Peter, I gave it a quick try and that seems to be what I need to do. I'll work with it a little more.
