Spline help.

[MotorCityMinion]

I'm cutting a good sized spline that was created with a ton of points. Using 2d contour with linear tolerance set to .0002, I'm getting a faceted finish. Is there a way to smooth out the spline without modifying the geo too much that would produce a smoother cut? Currently using the largest dia. emill that will work with this part. Thanks in advance.

Turn on the filter and allow arc is X/Y. I have used it in the past it and it works great.

Scott, thanks a bunch. I've been overlooking that feature for 2 years and it sits in plain sight. Never really thought about it until this spline issue came up.

 

Just thought of this. Using the filter, run the toolpath with comp set to off and save the geo. This may also help with smoothing out Blend chains. I'll definitely mess with it some. Thanks again.
