5 Axis Verify dia. simulation issue

[Mark Graham]

Anybody know how to turn off the tool radius option in verify?It tries to offset the 5 axis toolpath the radius of the tool.Since this is already done in my toolpath it srews up the verify.I tried unchecking the box,but every time I reopen verify it pops up again with the radius offset.This is something new in X5.PLease advise.Thanks,Grahmpa

Is "Cutter comp in control" box checked in your Configuration; "Verify Interface; Verify Settings"?

Thanks Ralph,I tried it both ways.It seems to default using the dia. comp no matter what I do.Inside the 5 axis parameters/cut pattern page there is a new box called "diameter for simulation" & I think thats where its picking it up.I change the comp. value in the verify to .0 & it works fine.But you have to change it every time.If you verify more than 1 path it will only work on the 1st 1 or 2 paths then it starts offsetting the rad. amount again.Have you seen the same thing or is it just me?

What 5 axis tool path are you using? I don't see anything for " diameter for simulation"

Mark,

 

I see it now.. it only shows when I set some type of tool comp in control. I haven't had any issues because I always use computer.

Ralph,I switched my path from "wear" to "computer" as you said & things work better.I posted both ways & the code is identical.I'm going to start using that on my swarf paths.

Thanks for the help.
