Multiple pockets in one 2D Adaptive operation

jparamo4546 — Sun, 24 Mar 2019 21:08:37 GMT

I have multiple pockets with the same size and depth (counterboards) and would like to pocket them in one 2D operation.

If I select all in one operation, it would be programmed to perform the first pass then jump to the next pocket and the next until it comes back to the first pocket for the second pass.

If I select one pocket per operation, it takes the first pass then retracts then the second pass.

The passes I refer to is due to multiple pass option of 1mm where the pocket depth is 2mm.

What do I select so that if multiple pockets are selected, the tool finishes with the first pocket completely before moving to the next?

Try programming for just one pocket and place that operation into a [Pattern] Folder and create a liner or circular pattern from that.

Untick order by depth, doing this it should do one hole at a time.

Order by area did the trick

Thanks

Even when i tick order by area and untick order by depth, unless i go full DOC of the pocket my tool still moves pockets after cutting the level . This causes the tool to rapid move alot more then required . Any thoughts?
