Thread mill verify

[MattW]

I have a part that needs a spiral groove on the outside, and I am using thread mill for the toolpath, which works great. However, verify shows a left hand thread being cut, although backplot shows right hand, and that is what is posted out. This confounded me for a while, until a made sure the right code was being put out. Anybody else had this happen? V9.1 MR0105, I have X but haven't installed it yet.

Make it a custom tool then when you verify it the Thread detail ro gorrve detail will show up in your verify but you must not use turbo must use soild tool in which to do this.

I am using a radiused slot mill, both in verify and and in reality. Verify shows the radiused bottom groove, the tool moves the right way, but the groove spirals the wrong way, and the ends aren't shown correctly, they are in the wrong place. I am just wondering if it is something I am doing or if it does this for everybody.
