verify stl

[kevin Knollinger Anderson Global]

iam 3d tool pathing useing a cadfile.I ran the varify to create a stl. when iam trying to save the stl i get a simulation error.it is tell me to reduce image quality.

 

what do i reduce it to?

is this just under the configuration settings?

If creating an STL after running a verify, the STL resolution must be set before actually running the toolpaths through verify.

 

STL resolution for the verify save is in the Verify Options dialog box, lower right area

 

If using "Save As" or "Save Some" from a model, the resolution is pre-set in the System config (Convertors), but can be adjusted as you save using the "Options" in the "Save As" window, next to the OK button

 

The smaller the resolution, the more accurate the shape, and larger files, but also the more resources are used to create toolpaths, you will get "Memory allocation" errors if set too fine.

 

Rule of thumb-settings

fine model creation___use 0.001"-0.002"

models for stock machining___ use 0.005"-0.020"
