how to pocket an anI need my output to have X,Y, AND Z mogled pocket with 3 axis mill

[pdewitt90]

I have an angled boundry that's all on the same numbered plane (11) and can't figure out how to zigzag up it while in the top construction plane.

 

I get the 'tool plane and construction plane not equal' error and the system won't create a toolpath.

 

Any help?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

Hi Paul,

 

For wireframe Pocket boundry plane is same the Tool Plane or the system get error and not create a toolpath.

Paul had a basic pocket boundry but the catch was it was at a an angle. so when he made the tool path to the plane at the same angle it was perperdicaler (SP?)

to the pocket at the angle. He wanted it perperdicaler (SP?) to the "Z" while the pocket was a an angle.

 

So I created a flat boundry surface on the angled.

Sqaushed the pocket to a flat top plain .did the pocket and then projected it to the surface to give him what he wanted.
