  1. Thanks for the offer, but I keep finding more and more wrong with my post. I think we're just going to have to get it fixed.
  2. We were a little slow to get things going and maintenance expired
  3. I think it's this part around line 899, but when I moved 901 to 899 to move the wcs before pallet rotate it didn't post wcs at all. Any ideas? Thanks
  4. Hello, I'm using a horizontal mill and after a tool change my post calls the work offset before the pallet rotate which is correct, but when it rotates to another side mid tool it calls the rotate and then the offset. Because I have a rotation shift in the offset, I need it to call the offset first. Anyone know where to fix in post? Thanks
  5. Making a stock model seemed to do the trick. Thanks! So does the optirough toolpath look for a stock model because I made one but there isn't anywhere that I told it to use it?
  6. My op manager says 1 material boundary and I made it huge, but its still ignoring the bottom and going underneath. Any suggestions?
  7. If I use "from inside" the toolpath works with my containment boundary but because it starts from the middle of the material it chunks off the material as it gets to the outside. If I choose "from outside" it seems to ignore my containment boundary. I would like to use "from outside" because the toolpath works much better. Do containment boundaries work while using "from outside"
  8. Just to clarify, when I say underneath I don't mean in the z direction. I mean in the negative y direction on a horizontal. I made a solid underneath and choose it as avoidance and then the toolpath went all the way under the avoidance solid as well. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks again!
  9. Hello, I'm trying to optirough the side of a part on a horizontal mill. The part is sitting on a fixture so I cannot machine underneath it, but the optirough tp keeps going under. I want to use " from outside" otherwise it starts from the center and chunks the material off once it gets to the outside. Is there a way for me to stop the toolpath from going underneath the part? Thanks!
