Optirough not staying in containment boundary

[Jrygus]

I cannot get my optirough path to stay inside the containment boundary. Is there an issue? I cannot find info about one, or am i just doing something wrong.

 

in the picture the green wireframe is my containment boundary, and the blue is the path that strays outside of it.

Are you using X5 or X5 MU1 ?

Opps, I just upgraded to X5 MU1.

Have you restarted MC and re-chained the boundary? Sometimes that just works.....

I have tried/recreated many different boundaries and no luck. I did try specifically restarting and re-chaining like you mentioned and nothing changed.

optirough use the boundary to defined stock , it's not like the old style path

 

i can get rid of those wacky move by playing with the gap size and motion gap size retract

 

also in MU1 you can control the tool containment, but it's not really efficient

Turned off "Use core mill passes" and it went away. I would rather have this on, but i can live with it off.

You got it Goldorack. I did not see the "Motion > Gap size, retract" setting. Thanks for the help.

no problemo

That "stray move" is a micro lift re-position move, a non cutting move if you will. You must of had your retract behavior on the cut parameters page set to "never". In addition, understand what "use core mill passes" means. It means consider the boundary to be the edge of material and approach from outside it, so the tool is allowed to mill outside it. This similar to 2D HST Core Mill and 3D HST Core Mill behavior. You remedied your "issue" by turning "Use core mill passes" off because the boundary now becomes a true containment boundary just like 2D HST Area Mill and 3D HST Area Clearance.
