2D HST Blend Mill & WCS

[SAVANT CNC]

X4 MU3:

I've used 2D HST Blend Mill b4, however, I had not with different WCS. It works ok with Top-plane WCS, however, when you change the WCS plane to "bottom", you get a mirrored toolpath.

 

Has anyone encountered this?

 

BTW, there is a PIA work-around...!!!

 

The other tool paths in 2D HST seem to work ok...!!!

By simply going from TOP to BOTTOM you have effectivly apparently mirrored you part (actually its not a true mirror its a reversal of axis).

Look at your axis direction arrows relative to the part as you change between your two views.

You need to edit your view or your blend chain geometry or both depending on what you are trying to achieve.

Cheers

I see the same thing?

[Greg Williams]

Yeah here too, Please send this to QC

I sent this in last year. I had this same issue.

We have seen this many times, we just create our own wcs planes using geometry and all works fine. never trust the mastercam reverse plans i.e. bottom, back, right
