2D Dynamic Mill not regerating

[jdkhunter1]

Just recently dynamic 2D milling will not regenerate. I sent a zip to go to my local re seller and it worked for them. I would say this is localized to my PC but 3 of us with different PC's had the same results. preview chain looks good, event log says  "completed multi-threaded regeneration of selected operations"  but still shows dirty. did a complete uninstall an reinstall still no go. anyone seen this?  My system is a Dell ,i7-4710MQ, 16 gig ram, Quatro K2100M video card with newest Nvida driver.

I get that weird things sometimes... recreate toolpath from scratch sometimes helps.

Few things:

Check your chain endpoint tolerances or analyze the chain for small gaps.

Have you tried ram saver?

It ended up being the Min toolpath radius  under Gap size in Cup parameters being too big went from 7.5% to 6.5%. Seems like a bug to me.

Not necessarily....having not seen the part...is it possible that radius size won't allow the tool to fit based on the settings?  I have seen that a fair bit on the "Tech Support" side of things

Nope old adage can't fit 50lb of potatoes in a 5lb bag. Same principle here if the tool will not fit then it will not fit. An area for improvement to alert the programmer they are trying the 50lb to 5lb process would be useful.

I agree with this, but also see that it could be difficult as there is almost always material left over that the tool cannot reach in corners and whatnot.  I personally wouldn't want an alert unless it was possible for me to suppress it when needed.

I think any reasonable programmer would have it throw a warning explaining why it can't generate a path. "Minimum toolpath radius too large" etc.

If indeed this is an enhancement some kind of alarm would be nice.
