Copy Area Mill Bug?

Recommended Posts

I might have found a bug in 2018. Does anyone want to take a look at this for me? In the op2 group, I created an area tool path then decided to copy the toolpath to do a rest machining operation. The copied tool path has been rendered useless. Even after unnecessarily reselecting the geometry I couldn't get a valid path. The bug stands out when you click "preview chains" button (reference the Z2G). I will work around by creating a new path as opposed to copying but has this been reported already?

 

Thanks,

check the stepover of the copied operation

sometimes it doesn't update and keeps the large stepover of the initial roughing tool

 

I did go back through and check all that prior to posting this. Did you not have the same issues?

ahaslam,

See the attached file.  When I downloaded your file it appears you had the same size tool loaded for the second area mill operation.  I think that was your issue.  I recreated the operation and picked your 1/4 inch tool and I believe it should give you the toolpath you are looking for.
