Z level rapid gouge in verify

[mayday]

I've noticed 2d contouring in verify is not displaying Z clearance moves correctly. After a contour the Z retracts and on the next X,Y rapid move Z comes down to the feed plane at the same time showing a gouge. backplot shows the correct moves and the post is correct. this happens on both our systems. v9.1 sp1. 3d surfacing displays the correct clearance rapid moves without gouge. has anyone else seen this.

May^Day !

 

Backplot is far more reliable than verify !

In case of a doubt always trust backplot ,IMHO .

 

Verify never was free of bugs .

This may be true, but many of my surface machining contains 2d contour paths also. kinda blows when verify hacks up my model after sufaceing

May^Day,

 

I have seen this alot. Every time I have cutter compensation on in the control, verify likes to shove 6" face mills through the part. I found that if you save the NCI file and verify off of that, it seems to correct the verify issue. Takes longer, but at least you get a correct verify until MC fixes it.

Thanks Greg I'll have to try that
