I'm having issues trying to get the Hybrid toolpath to start machining a mold from the top, working it's way to the bottom.[2017 mastercam for solidworks] With the "preserve Z passes" disabled, the tool path is quite efficient and does exactly what I would like. BUT it starts from the bottom of the walls(with relief angle) which causes issues with rubbing. With "preserve z passes" checked, the direction of flow(top to bottom) is what I want, but the tool path seems to run twice on the sides. I'm assuming that this is the "Z pass" and the waterline portion. So far to get this to run the way I want[maybe not the correct way] is to machine flats, then add waterline, then flats again. I love hybrid as it does almost everything I want quickly especially with a bullnose. I cannot submit my holder but the part is machined with the square base on the bottom, and the part is layered ply that is about .25" oversized then machined down.
