X5 ... How do you add control points to a spline?

Recommended Posts

I am using the multiaxis tool path type ==> wire frame ==> Parallel to Multiple Curves ... The curve is a spline ... but when you back plot the tool path the tool axis will skips about two inches and travels in a straight line to the next point gouging the part .016 .... :angry:

 

Any other suggestions?

you need to add collision control to the toolpath

select the floor surface and set collision control to "retract along axis"

you can also use this to leave stock of a floor surface

 

I did all that ... I ended up by saving toolpath, then drawing perpendicular line the the two axis lines, and broke the spline at those two point ... works fine ...

 

Thanks, I am still open to suggestion

Get Rhino3D and then you can repoint and/or reprocess the spline.
