surface finish leftover ver. 9

[perfecseal mankato]

When using surface finish leftover (3d collapse)

in ver.9, I have found that the larger the mold,

the larger the stepover must become. On large molds this can be a problem because of a poor quality surface finish. I would like to know if anyone else is finding the same thing out, and if they have found a solution to this. I have already

downloaded the patches available. [email protected]

Why must the stepover be larger? You can't change the stepover?

I have tried to make the stepover smaller,

just get an error that says "cannot determine a valid machining zone no toolpath created"

Have you checked Depth limits?

Sometimes changing the machining angle will help.
