I have been dealing with this issue for quite sometime now and have contacted cimtech for a resolution but havent been able to come to one. My problem is when I am doing a standard roughing toolpath in lathe (MCX 6) the tool wants to machine some of the same diameters that it just did the previous pass or passes. I have just been editing these passes out over the years but that gets pretty old. This seems to only show up depending on the part geometry and how much material needs to be taken out versus my programmed depth cuts. My question is do you guys ever deal with this problem and how do you go about fixing it or working around it? Attached is a file that I Just did and if you pay attention to the I.D. rough boring you will see it will go over diameters that have already been cut. I have also ran into this issue then closed mastercam and started back up and it worked as I wanted it to. Most of the time though it doesnt do what I want no matter how hard I try. It seems to violate my parameters for depth of cut depending on the part, features and geometry when using the roughing toolpath. Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Thank you for your time
