Lead ins and Lead outs

[Thee Dragracer1951]

The screwiest thing just happened. Simple profile. 50% lead ins and outs. Tangent. No workie. I get nuttin...

What's up with THAT???

lathe/mill?

 

More info?

Sorry...Mill.

wrong plane?

[88Matt]

are u not just not seeing it in backplot?

 

What does the code look like when posted?

Gouge check?

This is a simple open contour. I'd take a screen shot but I got no idea how to do that. rectangulat part. think of the perif offset in about a half inch. three sides and there is a radius that meats the outside perif. If I tell the lead in and outs tab to extend the begining and end of that profile, it omits the radius' and extends the two straight lines. Does it in X2 MR2 and in X3

Gotta be sumpin I'm doing wrong. Went back and trimmed the arc and lines to each other. Same Oh...

Top plane, I never saw anything about gouge checking. This is just a simple little profile.

It had to be something in the geometry. I added a line in to the rad at both ends and rechained it and that fixed it. Too strange....

I have seen it that when Extend/Shorten contour is used too excessively on the piece of geometry being cut that you CAN get some "weird" behavior.
