5 axis Verify problems

[Bruce Caulley]

Gents,

I have noticed a couple of strange things lately since upgrading to a new PC. If I am verifying a combination of 2d and 5axis paths the toolplane does not seem to reset itself from one to the next. Example:

 

I have a 2d pocket, a swarf op, and another 2d pocket on a different plane. If I verify the 2 pockets together everything is fine, but if I verify all three paths the second pocket is done with the tool still inclined from the swarfing op.

 

NOTE! I am using the correct planes and backplot doesn't show this. Toolpaths have also been run through vericut and discriminator just to be certain it isn't the ops themselves. I am sure it is just a setting on the new PC that is conflictiong with something.

 

Any ideas?

 

Bruce

Don't know yet David. I know it isn't a Quadro, but the specs are impressive and the price was very reasonable. I wanted a Quadro 3500, but had to stay in budget.
