3-d contour

[toolall1]

any help would be appreciated.

on a 3-d contour cutting graphite is there a way to prevent the witness line that forms down the part from every decrement of cut.it would be nice if you could ramp on and off without haveing the tool pick up every time.if this can be done that would help also.so far i havent found a way to keep it down.ive mest with transition ,follow surface ect.

thanks in advance

Sounds like you need to use the ramp feature...

[toolall1]

i do but the tool still piks up.

this adds alot of time to cutting the trode.

thank you midwest

Could you put this file on the FTP site?

[toolall1]

its not any spacific file ,im asking this as a general qustion thanks just the same cuda84.

if you could ramp on-off and stay down it would add a little cycle time but not as much as picking all the way up.

i wonder if i can use incremental and let it lift say .005 from the lst decrement hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ill try it

i been hopeing this would change from v-8 to present but i guess not.

thanks guys have a good one

Maybe try changing the gap settings.........try .010 or a smaller #

[toolall1]

Midwest i set my gap settingd to.002 the same as my step down and that worked great thanks so much
