More Surfacing Help

[n_tydingco]

I need your collective help (once again)! I am trying to surface the top profile of a part and am not getting the results I need. I can't accurately describe the features, so I placed the file on Cadcam's FTP server Click Here!

 

I've tried FLOWLINE, CONTOUR, SCALLOP, etc. to no avail. I did an earlier version of the part, but it did not have the flat surface between the radii and the FLOWLINE toolpath worked in that instance. I've also checked the parameters to make sure that I'm not doing anything different.

 

I know it's probably something simple but I don't do enough surfacing to keep sharp.

 

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I found the problem. Using the SURFACE>CONTOUR toolpath, I selected the surfaces I needed to cut and got the same error ("No cut found -- Check tool, cut depths, or roll tool at all edges")

 

I went into the Cut Depths option on the Finish Contour Parameters page and changed my incremental cut depths from the default value of .010 to .001 because the feature is relatively small. Hit the OK button and regenerated the toolpath and voila! success.
