Fillet Between 2 planes

[Eric S.]

Hi

 

What I am trying to do is create a fillet between a 4"dia. arc that is on the side plane and a line that is perpendicular(?SP?) to it on the top plane. Anybody know how to do this? I have tried to create the the pockets flat then rolling it but I them have troubles creating the toolpaths. Also I may have to edit the sizes a bit so it would be better if I could draw it myself.

Thanks for any input

If it's a arc fillet, just make sure Cplane = 3D

Thanks but even when the c-plane is on 3D I still get the error of entities must lie on the same plane. I am using MC8.1 would this make a difference?

What does (?SP?) mean?

What size fillet Radus?

 

If I understand. You are trying to make a fillet in the top Cplane between the line that is in the top Cplane and the Arc that is in the side Cplane. Hmmmm

If I have this rihgt? Then you will need to create a temporary vertical line in the top Cplane going thru the Arc so you can see two perpendicular lines, then you can fillet it.

Tri-tech - (?SP?) means 'not sure of the spelling'

 

Eric - I think you need to establish a c-plane for the fillet rad, then it should work.

 

If possible, put a picture on Cadcam's FTP site.

So you are trying to set up the Geo for a 4th axis cut?

What troubles are you haveing pocketing as 2D and do a axis sub and rolling the code?

 

Have you tryed the Roll Die c-hook?

 

Or share the basics and we will help from there.
