Thanks,
I'll give it a shot.

I'm still a bit new so don't beat me up if I am asking a silly question.

Is this still around? I see it is very old so I'm guessing it is outdated and dead. Just curious to see how it worked.
I am familiar programming and using sub programs but am always looking to learn something new and exciting that may make my life a bit easier.

My apologies for the late reply.
Yes, your guidance was very helpful. The 1st setup part cut just fine.
Thank you for the education.
Respectfully,

I did in fact reach out to my dealer and they are going to work on it and forward it to CNC if they can not find a solution.

I do and I can do that.
It may be a while as I am pretty busy today.

Is it just me or does the Optirest tool path not respect the stock to leave settings?
-
I have had success machining similar parts using 2 sided tape as mentioned above.

Thanks again for the tips. I will let you know what happens when I get to it. I've been moved to another hot job for now.

See there I learned something new. I will give the swarf as try. I that doesn't do it I guess I will be cleaning up the curve lines.
Thank you for your input.

Thanks crazy^millman,
I reattached the file. Hopefully it works now.
I have not tried the Swarf toolpath yet.

Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how to get the 4 axis Curve toolpath to respect the walls of the slot I need to cut.
I will be using an Hass Mini Mill with a Haas HA5c rotary 4th axis.
I first used the swarf toolpath and it looks pretty good but there is no option for Compensation. I would like to have control over stock to leave. Only making 2 prototypes for now.
I am trying the Curve toolpath because I see it offers, Compensation Type. I will be honest, I have very limited experience with Multi axis toolpaths. That is why I am reaching out to those with more knowledge for some guidance.
Could it be that the slot requires a 5 axis toolpath? I do see that some areas on the walls are not planar to the axis for 4 axis toolpaths. But then again why does the Swarf path look so clean?
Anyhow, I have attached a file in hopes that someone will be able to point me in the right direction.

What type of vise are you looking for?
-
Great, thank you.
-
Thank you. I will try that in order to get through. I was following the instruction but look where that got me. Ha.

I am taking the Advanced Design/Mill class, MastercamU and the project I am on literally took 40 minutes for the stock model to generate and even at that it locked up the program. I do not know the specs of my computer other than it has a SSD drive and a video card with 2GB and 8GbB memmory but the processor speed blah blah is foreign to me. There is a stock solid in the tree prior to this one that is using a optirough and a optirest tool path that I am using as the stock definition solid for this one. I tried opening up the tolerances on everything but that did not seem to help the latest stock solid. I tried generating the model at work using the computer there and it still took 13 minutes, but did complete it.
Can anybody advise me on what I might do to improve this. I am in a world of hurt if I have to wait that long for things to generate. I am not sure if sharing the project is okay, if it is I am willing to try sharing it if it would help.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or tips.

Thanks for the reply BenK.

BenK,
Can you share what parametric software is and how it works?
-
I do use Mill/Turn but not recently. That is interesting. I didn't have this issue until after using the 2018 Beta. I will be calling cor assistance on this one. I even remigrated my files up from X9 yesterday and, plftht, no good. Thank you again for the suggestions.
-
I take it back, that didn't work. Guess I'll be calling CNC.
-
Ray D,
Awesome that appears to have fixed that control definition. I take it I need to do this for all of them? I am still bugged by how this could have happened and what's to prevent it from happening again. Dun Dun Duuuuun!!!
I really appreciate you helping out. Thanks

JParis,
I am still kinda new, how do I change the misc ints. back? My re seller and I just updated all of my machine and control def. last Thursday due to 2018 Beta jacking them up. Had no issues until today. Hmmm??
Thank you for your help

I'm sorry but can anyone explain how these 3 lines of code,(highlighted) mysteriously started showing up in my programs? My re sellers office is out for a meeting and I have no contact until tomorrow. I tried 4 different posts, 4 different part files and they all now have these 3 lines. The G92 line is different with each post and part. I know I can just delete them but what else could be changing that I can not see. Kind of worries me.

I ended up having to recreate the arcs, bummer.
-
Well, that converted the splines but the geometry does not match up now. ?? The arc at the end of the slots is flared out almost like a dog bone. ??
