Trouble with verify configuration parameters

[Bill K]

List,

When setting the stock size in the verify configuration parameters, I first hit "choose stock corners" I then choose the near and far endpoints, and then after I hit the ok button, I get this error message "failure: in stock definition" What am I doing wrong?

The way it working now (which must be the default) its just taking outside chain of the pocket tool path, which doesn't let me see the whole picture of what's going out side of the tool path. In other words, my stock definition is the same size as my tool path and I can't seem to change it.

Bill by chance is this a 2d flat profile?

The perimeter just lines drawn in 3d to show as rectangular block. The pocket in the center of this block (a 1/2 slot with a 82 Degree chamfer around it which is drawn as a surface for a flat head cap screw)

If indeed you selecting flat geometer.....when your verify config box is up....check to see if your boundries

z values min...max...margin are all zero value.....set your Zmax value ot the thickness of your square stock....

[Zero]

And you're picking say, the lower left corner at the lowest z depth and the upper right corner at the highest z depth?

 

You can always choose Scan toolpaths and the just add extra to the Min and Max stock value that's calculated.

try using bounding box.

when you do this sense you all ready have a box uncheck creat lines and center point.

 

then as Ken stated make sure there are values in the XYZ locations.

 

One last that or I should say question,are you getting this not after you pick the stock not letting you finish the stock setup?

I just tried picking the origin and then the lower opposing end point, now its working for me. So my problem must have had something to do with not picking the lower end point of my 3d box, which in turn would give me a negative Z depth.
