Why does camplete try to make different work offsets if all my toolpaths are referencing one plane's WCS? If i have all the planes at the same point it will not but if i have planes that im using for the c ant t at different spots then camplete wants to make a bunch of work offsets. All my planes are set to 0 for offset and all toolpaths have just one plane referenced for wcs. Is it a setting in Camplete to change? Or do i always have to have all planes set at same point. Thanks
A big problem with me is that I just don't do enough of it. So I end up forgetting what I learned and have to relearn time and time again which feels like a waste of time. If i did it every day like the 2d stuff it would be much better. Its a problem. plus it feels like when i learn some 3d stuff that i think i can repeat on all jobs it turns out to not be the case because of the differences in parts with the need for 3d toolpaths make the toolpaths not do what i think it should. I think unlike the 2d paths I have to be ok with having to test different settings and see what it gives me and adjust a lot. Its like you said it always feels like there must be a better way and that you are just giving up and having to be satisfied with what you have. With 2d its not like that. I always feel like its perfect with no room for real improvement.
Hi. I have a problem with the direction on the toolpath hole definition in 2022. I select the solid hole for drilling operation and it gives me the green arrow in the orientation that i want. but then when i regenerate it automatically changes to opposite side. I have the direction set to defined. Did not have a problem in 2021. The first picture is what it looks like when i select and the second is what it is after regen.
