Is anyone else seeing funky things with 2019 high speed toolpaths?
I have a good high speed parallel tool path, then I change say stepover. I had stock set to 0.2mm.
What MC does is adds a new set of mchininig geometry with stock set back to 1mm stock. The original setting 0.2 stock has no surfaces assigned.
I always use "one way filtering". For finishing toolpaths only I use smoothing shift points randomly. The biggest effect on toolpath surface finish will be your total tolerance.
Set your arcs to Min 0.1 and Max 10000.
In 2019 I had a 2D HS dynamic toolpath I copied it twice and reselcted new geometry in the two copied toolpaths.
The depths in the copied toolpaths changed?
I tried everything uninstalled 2018 re installed 2018 tried repair ect ect.
When I start 2018 I get the dreaded MC has stoppped working and then the email promt to email MC.
2019 is working fine
I can not get Horizontal Entry/Exit Arcs to work for me with HSS Waterline.
Actually I never have so I must be doing something wrong.
I set Horizontal arcs in the parameters but I never get them in the toolpath?
Whats the best way ask CNC software if its possible for a request?
I'd like a zigzag option for Surface Area Rough

Material is P20 Hardened to 55Rc I need to cut the thread into the core (Green surfaces). I need to cut the green surfaces and I can not touch the red surfaces.
I want to rough it with a 1.5mm Ballnose then I need to go down to a 0.6mm Ballnoe
Any guidance on how to tool path this job would be greatly appreciated. It will be cut on a HAAS UMC 750 SS
Cheers
