On a simple circle mill with only roughing selected, using control comp on a .74 Dia. bore using a 1/2" end mill with .032 roughing stepover it is not simulating cutter comp with verify or backplot. It worked fine in X4 but not X5. And yes simulate Cutter comp is checked in my settings. Did I miss another setting?
I sometimes use macro statements such as this.
#7021=-30.3738(WRITE G54 P2 X ZERO)
#7022=-17.9974(WRITE G54 P2 Y ZERO)
#7023=-19.7293(WRITE G54 P2 Z ZERO)
No operator error.
1)All Geometry was created and file was saved.
2)created solid body from the geometry.
3)extruded several holes thru body
4)cut several chamfers on the body
5)after I cut a chamfer and wanted to delete it,instead of a right click on the chamfer in the tree to remove it I selected undo under the file menu and all geometry and the solid was gone (screen went blank).
It was restored after selecting redo.
