Contour - Ramp problem

[CNCGUY]

Hey all,

 

In V9, when doing a countour-ramp toolpath, the cutter would make a complete circle for the last pass at final depth. In X, the final pass at final depth is not happening. See sample code below. I dont see aything in the post's so I dont know where or how to fix it.

 

Any help is appreciated.

There should be a setting in your op to make full pass at final depth.

When using "angle", full pass at final depth is not available in V9 or X. Not sure why it works in V9?

I always used to set it at ANGLE to find out how far down it'd go on the backplot; then change it to DEPTH once I knew the value. This is a hack, I know, but it worked for me more than one time.

Chris,

 

That worked. Just wish I could find out why it doesnt work the "right" way.
