2D contour problem

[90rsgnuguy42]

Ok. I'm creating my first program with X2 and I'm trying to toolpath a simple contour. It is a rectangle with the 2 right corners having a .5 radius. The 2 left corners are sharp. I select the contour and define the tool. When I backplot the tool or run it in verify it makes the 2 right corners sharp. I'm leaving .02 stock for finish and I'm taking a couple of steps down in Z. Any ideas.

recreate your geometry. when tool pathing just try a finish cut until the tool is doing what you want, then add dth of cut. check lead in and out to be sure they are what you want. The tool should follow the geometry

I did ALL that before I posted. I finally saved the file as a version X file (lost my bad toolpath data) and opened the file in MR2 and had no problem with it. I'm just about to save it and open it in X2 to see what happens. Good thing I'm not expected to actually generate code for the shop floor. (tongue in cheek).

Try not rolling the cutter around corners, see if that helps.

Did that. Also changed the tip comp from tip to center although that made as much sense as rolling around corners, checked and unchecked infinite look ahead and changing the types of comp. I finally just e-mailed a Z2G file to QC and am now just going back to MR2 so I can keep machines running.

Mike I havent seen this problem at all, can you share the file?

[90rsgnuguy42]

You've got mail Rick.

sorry I got busy, did you figure it out?

I will look at it first thing in the morning
