Circle mill

[wfcPain]

When you choose circle mill toolpath and choose arc center, the field for circle dia diameter is ghosted out to the diameter of the circle.

 

This happens sometimes when you choose a point on a arc center.It ghosts out the field.Is there a setting to change this?

If it puts it in there thats fine but whats the reason for it ghosted out?

No setting, pick a point only, not the point for the center of a circle but only a point, you'll than have access to the field.

 

When you define it using a circle or center of a circle, it gets the info from the circle

Unless you mix up your chains (centers and points) then it will let you enter a diameter and just ignore it on center of circles. Makes for some interesting results if you're not careful with your autocursor and chaining.

 

If you do that and look in the chain manager all you see is point1 point2 point3 with no distinction between a point and a center of a circle. That is not desired functionality if you ask me.

 

IMHO of course.
