Surface Machining Update = Gouge?

[Mick]

I just downloaded and installed the updates below. Prior to applying them, I had a surface roughing toolpath which was using Filtering, so decided to apply the patch and regenerate, to be sure there were no problems. Surprisingly, the gouge free toolpath now had gouges :/

I guess the old rule "if it aint broke, dont fix it" applies here :/

Anyone else had this problem?

The Appmch9.doc file provides more information. Download and execute this file. It will extract several files into your Mcam9Apps and Mcam9Chooks directories. Use the Tpcfg.dll C-Hook to control surface machining functionality.

 

Also:

 

Bfilter-072902.exe - (07/29/02) - This app will only work with Version 9.0SP1. This Filter app addresses the binary filter only (the one used in each operation). It does not address the ASCII filter (Toolpath/NC Utils/Filter). There were several problems reported where a gouge would occur in a Surface, Rough, Pocket or Restmill routine when using the filter. Turning the filter off would eliminate the gouge. All Version 9 SP1 Mastercam Mill, Lathe, and Wire (SP1 or SP2) users whom create toolpaths and use the filter option on the parameters page should upgrade to this App. Download and execute this file. It will extract several files into your Mcam9Apps directory.

The nice thing about the apps files is they are easy to update.

Just wanted to re-interate this. This is how the product gets better, not complaining in here.
