If you are running 2017 or sooner go to home tab, display, arc center points. This should toggle them on and off. On a side note, if it's the toolpath go to view, toolpaths, Advanced Display drop down menu, Arc Midpoints toggle.

Thanks for the help. You are correct, Model Prep had all the tools I needed. Toolpath looking a lot better now. I kept getting errors with the original path when turning this option on. However, after switching to the solid model after using model prep it worked great. Thanks for chiming in! Caleb

I have attached a picture of the section in question. FORUMS.BMP It appears that this is just a pocket for a cap head screw. Tolerance is .02 profile to 3 datums, so not incredibly tight. I was planning on rounding the the corners a bit to eliminate the sharp toolpath. I was hoping to use the .125 EM to avoid hitting the section above the hole in the picture. This depth is about .35 min. I was also hoping to do this quite quickly instead of surfacing the whole thing, as the deadline for these parts is pressing (aren't they always) The floor of the pocket only has .03 of material thickness between it and the bore. As you can see I did have to draw some of the surfaces. I'm not the best at the cad side of MC (yet) which is why the surfaces suck a bit.

Hi all. I'm having some trouble with the swarf toolpath and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to what's going on. I've tried multiple settings and can't seem to figure it out. The swarf toolpath is gouging the part as it comes across the two smalled parts of the pocket dipping into the part. By messing with the settings the path only seems to be getting worse. Thanks for any help in advance, Caleb Swarf-Gouge.ZIP Swarf-Gouge.mcam
