Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for reporting the issue! I think this is a bug and have reported this to the development team. (the ticket ID is CAM-10047 just for your reference) I will share more information as soon as I hear back from the team.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Adaptive clearing seems to work OK here with a few alterations to your setup, see attached file if it is of any use to you.

You will need to set tooling, feeds, speeds, stepovers etc, etc, etc to what you want but it sort of works in simulation and generates clean code

Wow, thanks for such a fast reply!

One more thing - selecting an part origin is a real nightmare.

Just try to select CAM origin on center of cylinder stock front edge with Z towards up.... 😞

After half an hour playing with it I rather move and rotate part just to be able select part origin from cad.

Can`t help you much with that one, I always draw the model in the plane it is to be machined in (eg Vertical or Horizontal Mill) I come from different Cad-CAM background where it is normal by default to draw in the "Z up" direction so I am much more comfortable with that, I also always draw on X0, Y0, Z0 then I am already set for setting the Work Offset at the machine control, saves all that playing around with the setup in Fusion which although very, very good does seem to me to be just a little over complicated for simple machinist folks like me Also very old

Moving everything around like you did was the only way I could get the toolpath to generate correctly the way I am used to things

They do say "each to their own" and my way works for me so until someone puts a 12 bore to my head and says do it different then I will just carry on making odd shaped pieces of metal etc

@engineguyThanks for your input! 3d adaptive is easy but often not an optimal solution.

I'd try to use 2d adaptive on curved sides with no success.
