Lead in / out troubles

[k turk]

I did a search for this and didn't find anything . . i'm running X5 MU1. In trying to contour the inside

of a deformed circle, i can't get lead in / out moves to work. the tool only plunges. if i switch sides,

and contour the outside, the arcs appear. the circle is easily large enough to accommodate the needed arcs

for the leads. have i missed something easy here?

 

thanks

have you turned off gouge check

gouge check was it. just upgraded to X5 yesterday - that's new to me. Just out of curiousity, what does it think it is gouging?

Why do you not need gouge check on contouring the outside with leads? Many thanks.

I have no idea what gouge check allows or doesn't allow.

I do all sorts of weird things that gouge check will not tolerate so I just shut it off and forget about it.

You probably did to, but your fresh X5 install had it on by default.
