Invalid tool motion detected

[BrianP.]

Face milling with one way and depth cuts selected get the following error.

 

"Invalid tool motion detected within depth cuts. Operations require regeneration. Cancel post processing?"

 

Change the type to zigzag or dynamic and posts fine. Uncheck depth cuts and also posts fine.

 

X5 mill level 1.

This has been discussed. Its a bug.

Brian,

I've compared the NC code to the same paths in X4 and can't find anything wrong with the code.

 

It looks like this dialog is just an annoyance for now. Choose No and let er' rip. Your code should be fine.

 

Don't assume we won't find bad code eventually though. Always proof-read your NC.
