MR2 HSM PROBLEM ???

[JEFF G HTD]

HAS ANYONE NOTICED PROBLEM WITH THE NEW HIGH SPEED MILLING CUTTER PATHS. I HAVE STOCK SET AT 0

AND THE CUTTER PATH IS PROCCESSED EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE. WHEN I GO BACK TO THAT OPERATION TO LOOK AT PARAMETERS THE STOCK SHOWS .050. WHEN I BACK PLOT CUTTER PATH IT IS CUTTING TO 0 STOCK. THE OPERATION IS NOT DIRTY BUT IF I REPROCCESS IT WILL CUT TO +.050. THIS ONLY HAPPENS SOMETIMES BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS IT'S ALL HSM PATHS SET AT 0 STOCK. ANY HELP IS APPRICIATED.

 

THANKS JEFF

I haven't had it switch back on me. If you don't copy the operation and create a new one the new one will have the same .05" starting out. I believe you can change that value under your operational defualts under your control definition.

Better unlock caps before someone gets on to you.

It's considered yelling. lol

Jeff, I've played around with a few things trying to reproduce your problem but I'm not able to find any thing. Is this something that you reproduce at your end? If it is send me your file and I'll give it a try.

Mark, no I can not reproduce this problem it happened to me on three different files but after I fixed operations it don't seem to do it again. I have some files that it never did it on. What do I need to do to send you file.

 

Thanks

I had a simualer problems with step over not sticking. What I found was everytime you change something in a HS Toolpath you will notice the the Blue Apply button becomes active. You must hit this apply button for the changes to stick.
