Containment boarder failure

[Nils N]

I ran across this a while back and just getting around to asking about it. In Surface High Feed (Rastor) ‘smooth transition’ the tool goes way out side of the containment boarder (beyond the center of the tool). If I use straight transition it stays on the center of the containment boarder.

 

The larger the step over with “smooth transition’ the farther past the containment boarder the tool travels. Even with a small step over the tool moves beyond center and if you use inside transition the tool will still move beyond the containment boarder.

 

To me the containment boarder should work regardless of the transition type. Has anyone else seen this?

 

This is happening in X3 and X4 I don’t have X5 so I don’t know what X5 does.

that's what smooth is suppossed to do..

 

try "follow surface"

Gcode,

 

OK, I kinda get it, I'll use straight to keep it on or in the boarder.

 

But if I use smooth how much is it going to go past the boarder? What compensation would you use to keep it on the boarder or inside the boarder. The containment isn't a containment, it seems.

 

I also checked 'Help' it doesn't really define how smooth and straight transition interact with the boarder.
