Are you using the c-hook "check holder" ? i usually use the option to "edit projection" place the tool at the deepest part and click and drag the holder up and down till it looks good.that along with the option to trim passes to holder (under surfacing toolpaths-on holder tab) have always worked for me
I have started just posting a g81 cycle for each "peck" that i need to get to the bottom ,that way(on okumas)it retracts all the way out but starts down deep
example
g81 z-1 r.1
g71 z.1 ---forces tool retract plane
g81 z-1.1 r-1.
g71 z.1
g81 z-1.2 r-1.1
this happened a lot when we used x7 and customers would create models with a newer parasolid version than mastercam had,re-saving with other software to version 23 seems to fix it
after generating a tool path that took 20 minutes ,i saved the file and after saving toolpath was marked as dirty,with the .stl file used for stock disappears from the stock tab in the restmill page,seems to be happening a lot when using stock to reference leftover material
when loading .stl for stock,pressing the help button gives an error,where do i find the help file? and is there a way to actually see the .stl,all i get is pieces of it visible as shown in green
just did a file repair and save on a part and the planes tab just shows the standard plane selection.added planes return to the list after re-opening the file.
just a bug i guess
