advanced multiaxis help

[MIL-TFP-41]

I have uploaded a file here to help explain this one. I am having problem with the stepover amount that advanced multiaxis uses. Seems like it starts out the path with a approx OK stepover (like .050), but as the path continues around the cylinder, the stepover increases. Flow 5ax does a good stepover, but when you start adding check surfaces to this path...well if you have used it much then you know that sometimes you path may dissappear. I want to use advanced multiaxis on things like this for more control and check surfaces. Anyone got pointers on getting my stepover to stay consistant??

 

Thanks

the step over appears un-even because they are parallel to z axis. Try morph between two surfaces and pick the fillet surface at each end.

 

good luck

The stepover is actually the same all the way thru on the second program. Within tenths anyway. I am getting about .045" first to last step.

As for the first program I changed it to morph between 2 surfaces, and picked the rads and it worked fine. Pattern = Morph between 2 surfaces

I guse I should have read what Tony said a little more closely.
