Optirough: Is this a bug

[dfedwards]

I have had a couple of files that Optirough has issues with stepdown depths. Sometimes it will repeat and entire Z level and sometimes it may completely skip a Z level. For example, say I am roughing a pocket 1.5 inches deep with stepdown of 0.500, it roughs the 1st depth at Z-.500, skips the 2nd depth completely and goes to the next depth of Z-1.500 - What's worse is it tries to rapid through that level it missed. I have caught this every time and it hasn't caused any crashes, and I have been tracking this and I have found that the thing that seems to be in common is either an undercut in the pocket or crossholes thru the pocket walls. Has anyone else seen this? I'm running X5 MU1.

If you can re-produce the issue I would send it into [email protected] I'm sure they would like to see this.

I'll look tomorrow, I know I have a file or two on the network that has had this issue. I create a work around usually by creating individual operations for each depth. I admit that I don't send things like this to QC as often as I should, I will find a work around and deal with it when I should be helping the problem for everyone and sending it in to QC.

That is a work around but wow what a lot of work that must be to do.

 

If they can find a easier solution for the problem then I'm sure they would be happy to provide it for you.

Thanks Chris, just thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else has seen this. I'll get something sent to QC tomorrow and maybe someone will chime in tomorrow if they've experienced this also.

Rest Rough has the same, inconsistent, issue.

It also paths over the walls that don't need be.

 

I believe these paths are being worked on but don't know which release

they will be fixed on
