Why does it take so long to regen a simple toolpath

[WesC]

Hello all,

 

When I regenerate a simple tool path (contour of a small chain) I see an image of what looks like an STL file of my stock appear, my stock is a solid on a level by itself. Then the tool path slowly regenerates , very slowly.

 

This seems to happen on all toolpaths, from surfacing paths to simple chains.

 

Is there a switch somewhere that is telling it to use an STL file when I regenerate?

 

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Set stock to none and this won't happen.

I don't know why it works like

that but it happens when you define your

stock an an STL file or solid

Thank you for the advise.

 

Where would I change that setting?

[gcode]

In the Ops Manager...

Properties/Stock Setup..

You've got a solid model or STL file defined as

stock.. CHange it to rectangular and you should see your regent times improve..

Its a lame workaround.. but it works

 

you can still use the solid or stl file in Verify

without causing the slowdown

Thanks again gcode.
