      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi guys, long time no type.&amp;nbsp; I have just had a need to create a form tool once again, using a curve, and have had a weird result.&amp;nbsp; I created the curve, starting point X0Y0Z0, profile in the XZ axis, ending on the Z axis, as usual.&amp;nbsp; When checking the toolpath I can see the tool fine, .400 diameter at the small end, with a form radius up to the shank, but during simulation, the tool comes to a fine point, sharp, and doesn't reflect cutting the stock as it should.&amp;nbsp; What am I missing here?&amp;nbsp; I'll try to attach some pics to better illustrate my situation.&amp;nbsp; Lower pic reflects wireframe toolpath, also included in the view is the curve used.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;FCam 2020.3.0.0013&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Steve&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="From Simulation..." style="width: 474px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/897706i6CF9E6B75161C6A1/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="SIMULATION TOOL.JPG" alt="From Simulation..." /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;From Simulation...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Wireframe, looks good." style="width: 637px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/897707iE5BAE425A4789ECA/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="WIREFRAME TOOL.JPG" alt="Wireframe, looks good." /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;Wireframe, looks good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I did just that.&amp;nbsp; The bottom of the tool is .400" diameter, and the curve was drawn from center out to .200", then up with the contour.&amp;nbsp; Proprietary files, but maybe I can throw a curve on a file and send it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hmmmmm.... I created a simple circle, and used the tool on it as a side feature, and it worked fine.&amp;nbsp; Still looks funky tho at the top.&amp;nbsp; But it still isn't working in the main file tho.&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="SIM II.JPG" style="width: 510px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/897774i3D623F82008B9AC3/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="SIM II.JPG" alt="SIM II.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm thinking this is a graphics issue, somehow.&amp;nbsp; The start points are the same, and the milling moves match on both centerline TP and in the simulation as well.&amp;nbsp; I think it'll be fine to machine, but would like to know how to remedy the screen simulation anomaly.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Close FeatureCAM&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Go to&amp;nbsp;C:\ProgramData\FeatureCAM&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. Take the ezfm_ui.ini file and place it on your desktop (as a backup)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4. Reopen FeatureCAM.&amp;nbsp; The ini file will be replaced with a default one.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;5. Try simulating again&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If this did not give better results, then repeat the above, except delete the ini file and replace it with the one on your desktop.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can send me your drawing of the tool, and I can try on my side as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No joy.&amp;nbsp; I tried and it reset all my settings for display and such, but to no avail on the tool distortion.&amp;nbsp; I reloaded my old ini file back in.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have taken the curve used for the profile of the file in question and pasted it into another file.&amp;nbsp; It works fine.&amp;nbsp; There's something corrupt in this particular fcam file I suspect.&amp;nbsp; Strange.&amp;nbsp; I think it'll post code correctly, as it looks fine graphing with centerline toolpath, it's just the shaded simulation that's glitching.&amp;nbsp; And I can't share this particular file for proprietary considerations.&amp;nbsp; &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@6BD43E83EB76DBD085DA3B3EFAF9FEFE/emoticons/1f61e.png" alt=":cara_de_decepción:" title=":cara_de_decepción:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
