It's all roughing working now.
But it eliminated all the depth cuts on one so the cutter went to the next path with 1 inch of solid stock there. Luckily I switched to an end Mill and not the previous insert Mill
We have 2 files that have run for a couple years now with open pocket cycles. All of a sudden mastercam is removing large sections of these paths. I thought it was Camplete at first but if I post it out thru mastercam it is missing there also.
Turning off finish passes seems to fix the issue. I never use open pockets but others do and these files are reposted for other machines all the time without issue before this.
The tool path display shows the full path
The only new thing is the computers have internet so we can move to Autodesk Camplete. Could they have updated automatically?
Your misc integers are not right. Check out the control def and op defaults
When you open a file and it's like that edit comon parameters and set to post defaults for misc integers
If you have camplete you can linearize it and it will do axis substitution.
One time I did alter generic 4 axis post to rotate about z and I was able to do what you're trying.
