Tolerance for create edge curves

[somename75]

How do you set the tolerance for edge curves when they are being created off a solid? When I try this the ribbon bar pops up and the tolerance box stays grayed out. Thanks

[Guest]

When I go, create >> curve >> single edge or even all I do not get a tolerance box.

 

Can you post a screen shot of what you are seeing?

 

You could also check your settings in

 

settings >> config >> solids, there is an edge tolerance on that page

[somename75]

sure, how do i throw up a pic, i dont remember how. By the way I am running X2 MR1 SP1. Im am in a fight with Mori over our new NV5000. it has some jerky movements on a 2d profile, and they claim up and down that it is bad code coming from mastercam. So I am trying to cover my bases. Thanks for your help

Like I said in my previous post, v9 for some reason works better than x2 when creating edges on all surfs .I also think there is a setting somewhere.

please let me know if you find it.

 

operator error? mmmmmm maybe

[Guest]

Try using filter on the tool path to smooth it out.

 

Between you and me I doubt very highly the avenue your pursuing is the right one.

 

If you created a nurb and coded it you would likely get a million G1 moves, this will cause that kind of behavior

 

I suspect it might be a tool path issue.

 

got some code and a dscritpion of what you're doing?

[somename75]

These curves are coming off a parasolid. They claim that Mastercam has issues with delivering accurate code. I have not heard of this before so am suspect of their claim. I get the same code wheather I use the solid chain or the edge curves to drive the tool.

John there is a zip2go in the mcx2 folder on the ftp called NVproblem, it is a really straight forward part. here is the code

sorry bout the mail, im cant remember my password to change it. The good addy is dzarb at htmfg dot com

[Guest]

Try turning on the G8 look ahead, it is standard on the machine.

 

At that feedrate with small moves the look ahead is vital, if you have a higher level of that option available I'd suggest using it.

[somename75]

Its on, on this machine its G5.1 with the sensitivity set to R3. I have problems at 205 IPM but no issues with the same code at 10% above or below that. Its really weird

[somename75]

Here is the code that they claim is a problem for the machine, if anyone sees something wrong with this please let me know.
