X5 Swarf Verify problem


TuxedoMask

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I've opened up an old X3 file into X5 and was updating our toolpaths and noticed that when I verified my Swarf cuts they were acting crazy and cutting into my part. However, when I blackplot the toolpath everything comes out normal as they were on X3.

 

I've uploaded a picture to show you guys the difference in motion between backplot and verify. I'm not sure where the verify portion is getting its lead in and lead out from and crashing into the wall of my part. I've gone into the 'Linking' tab and unchecked the Entry/Exit motions off. I've never had this problem before in X3 and I'm hoping its just a setting errror so I can actually have some confidence when posting out the program.

 

Thanks in advance!

you can only have the cutter compensation set to Computer for it to simulate in verify correctly. if it is on wear it will show an overcut. it will backplot and post out fine with wear comp though.

 

This worked.

 

I went ahead and tried to play around with it but the only setting I didn't change was what worked...sigh lol.

 

Thanks a lot!

 

And thanks to the others for the input as well!
