It's set to .00001"

Where would I find that out?

This is something that shows up occasionally on my system. For 2D Contour, if I select the depth by clicking "Depth" and then clicking the model, I get a 6-place decimal. If I "Analyze Entity" it will show only 4 places. How can I change the number of decimal places in the parameters? Thanks.

In this file, I am trying to rough the large radius, the small radius on the floor, and the flat in one toolpath. I'd like .005" 3D stepover on the radii and .025" stepover on the flat. Hybrid is close, but it keeps making pocket motion on the curve that I can't get rid of. Something like Raster with separate stepover on 3D and floors. Is there a way I can do this? 10299 test.zip

I'm going to plead ignorance here, but doesn't Blend need two chains? By "flat track" are you saying to project the 3D wireframe above the part and then create a flat boundary surface?

I can't seem to edit the original post, but here's a new file. contour test.zip

There's a zip file in my post. I don't have multiaxis. Will give it a try, thanks.

It would be nice. I've noticed that on OptiRough and Area Rough where the cutting motion is fine, but the transition/linking motion shakes the machine.

Thanks. I'll watch them when I get a chance. I did loosen my tolerance to .001 on another part yesterday and that seemed to improve things. I'll have to apply it to my problem toolpath next time it comes up.

I hope this picture shows what I'm trying to do. I'd like to run a 1/16 ballnose endmill around some 3D wireframe. It appears to be working, but if those surfaces were any more complex, I'd need to drive that with those surfaces and not the wireframe. Is there a way to do this with the surface toolpaths? I'd need it to machine the surfaces, but follow that curve, and take a few multi-passes. Thanks. 3D contour.zip

I would assume so, right? If I check all three, that's all three planes, XY, XZ, and YZ. Is that how it works out am I missing something? I will try different values for G187. I had forgotten about that. It's a 2020. I'll loosen the tolerance and try again.

Yes, I have all three (G17, G18, and G19) turned on.

It's a solid body. There's no wireframe. I just want everything to get turned into arc moves.

I'm using Mastercam 2021 and a Haas Minimill 2. I've programmed a Hybrid toolpath with arc filter turned on, .0004 total, 2:1 ratio of cut to line, G17/G18/G19 all checked, "Output 3D arc motion" checked, and I'm still getting tons of G1 motion both in the cut and also in the transition moves. I have Minimum Distance checked and also output feed move checked. The machine just bumps and chokes on all the line moves it generates. Am I missing something else? It's just not smooth at all.
