Verify and Backplot completely different.

[N9998D]

I have a 5ax curve that looks nice in Backplot but Verify is just goofy. I attached a zip file that's the mcx-5 and stl and lwn files. I've tweaked everything I can think of even graphics settings but no joy.

 

Hoping someone can take a look.

Turn off wear, it might have something to do with that?? I put it to computer.

 

Just a stab in the dark.

Try running thru MachSim and look at it. Regular verify will, most times, be wrong in 5 axis.

5X curve really isn't the right toolpath for that cut IMO

I did an advance 5X swarf that looks pretty sweet.

It looks like the rough cuts are gouging one of the corners a little

( or there's something wrong with my swarf)

Its running OK in verify as far as I can see

out of lunch hour so that will have to do..

I attached my file to this post

 

 

 

edit... I turned "use cutter comp in control on" in Verify.. and the results were very ugly

with the 5X curve toolpath.. both toolpaths run OK in Verify with it off

Changing ccomp from Wear to Computer did it. Thanks.

 

Mr. Wizzard: I'm trying to figure out MachSim and keep running into problems and error messages like this:

 

It looks good in Verify but I really want to get MachSim going.

[Mr. Wizzard]

Sorry, can't help at all with that error. I'm sure someone much more knowledgeable than me will chime in though. Good luck. When you get it running, it is saawweeettt!

GCode, the .zip file is corrupt somehow. I only get a 196k file and not 430k or so. Could you re-up or email to [email protected]? Thanks!

[gcode]

weird .. I just downloaded it and it came in OK..

It looks like Machine Sim doesn't like custom tool defs..

I tried it with a standard 3/8 ball and it runs pretty cool.. cool stuff..

I'll email the file..

In X5, the ability to apply cutter compensation in Verify was added to 5 axis toolpaths. It is triggered by a combination of the compensation type in the toolpath and the Verify Options / Cutter comp setting.

 

In looking at this part, yes, you get two different results with and without compensation:

 

 

In this case, to get the desired results (not showing cutter compensation), disable the compensation using the Verify Options dialog:

 

 

When using compensation and 5 axis toolpaths, the "Tool Radius" edit box is enabled and allows you to specify the offset distance.
