I've been using HSM for years, and I'd consider myself pretty experienced, but this one has me stumped. I'm trying to machine the 3D chamfer shown in my image. I am using the Trace strategy. I have my lead-in and heights set as shown. The software is generating a vertical lead-in extension that far exceeds all my heights, and I cannot control it. I'd like to decrease (or do-away with entirely) the vertical extension, but I cannot find a way to do that. Where is this extension coming from?!</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Toolpath.jpg" style="width: 600px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1269165i89C44AA318F984AA/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Toolpath.jpg" alt="Toolpath.jpg" /></span></P><P> </P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Heights.jpg" style="width: 600px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1269163i084A21EFE119C04E/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Heights.jpg" alt="Heights.jpg" /></span></P><P> </P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Linking.jpg" style="width: 600px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1269164iF95DCB544BDB743F/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Linking.jpg" alt="Linking.jpg" /></span></P><P> </P> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 16:12:06 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-forum/can-t-modify-lead-in-during-trace-operation/m-p/12254158#M807 schaffdk 2023-09-20T16:12:06Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-forum/can-t-modify-lead-in-during-trace-operation/m-p/12254167#M808 <P>Here's the SLDPRT file</P> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 16:13:31 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-forum/can-t-modify-lead-in-during-trace-operation/m-p/12254167#M808 schaffdk 2023-09-20T16:13:31Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-forum/can-t-modify-lead-in-during-trace-operation/m-p/12270908#M810 <P>thats when use 3D flow and a ball cutter. quick down and dirty</P> Wed, 27 Sep 2023 18:31:09 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-forum/can-t-modify-lead-in-during-trace-operation/m-p/12270908#M810 lenny_1962 2023-09-27T18:31:09Z
