Jay put SURF_PARALLEL_TO_SUPPORT.MC8 on the ftp site. We are having trouble roughing the contour with more than one set of surfaces in one operation. The intention is to ramp up all allowable surfaces from 180 deg then ramp up all others from 0 deg. If you have one operation with only one set (3 surfaces) in the geometry it works, but when you use more than one set of surfaces in one operation it doesn't completely cut all the selected surfaces. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Jeremiah

So why can't we have more the one op to do this, That would make it much easer?

 

Also in your mail all you stated is that you could not get it to see all the surfaces the was nothing about have it see all and have do a transition from 180 to 0.

 

Also you want this all done from the saved view 4th op correct being tplane 4?

You could do it in more than one op,and I am relatively certain it will have to be at least 2, for the 180-0 transition, but I don't think it will even do this? We are using surf/fin/par. for roughing. Copying the op down and changing the amnt of stock to leave on drive surfs. By the time you rough each set 2 times, there will be quite a few ops in there, not to metntion the finishing of them. Yes you are correct that it should be on t-plane 4. Sorry I wasn't clear in the e-mail Jay, it is often difficult to apply words to frusteration. Do I need more geometry in the file for you to see it ? If there is a better way, please advise.

 

Thanks
