I have run into a similar issue where I am calculating a line projection toolpath for use on milling with a robot on a rotary table. I have to use .stl models. In some areas, the toolpath generated will contain some "cusps" in what should be a fairly smooth round section. In these areas, the tool axis will switch direction very abruptly. This causes problems with the robot. What causes this and how can I avoid it. Thank you.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Toolpath change direction.JPG" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1350454i9F98EEE145EEBEA4/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Toolpath change direction.JPG" alt="Toolpath change direction.JPG" /></span></P> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:10:23 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/powermill-forum/toolpath-unexpected-axis-how-to-fix/m-p/12712137#M1928 Jason_McDaniel 2024-04-16T14:10:23Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/powermill-forum/toolpath-unexpected-axis-how-to-fix/m-p/12717273#M1929 <P><SPAN class="HwtZe"><SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"><SPAN class="ryNqvb">In this case, the ideal is for you to send a copy of your project so that we can suggest improvements.</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"><SPAN class="ryNqvb">Without having the project, it is a little difficult to know what will solve your problem.</SPAN></SPAN> </SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN class="HwtZe"><SPAN class="jCAhz ChMk0b"><SPAN class="ryNqvb">One suggestion: Enable axis smoothing:</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="rafaelsansao_0-1713444215855.png" style="width: 600px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1351522iFCD9C0D21FF77E79/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="rafaelsansao_0-1713444215855.png" alt="rafaelsansao_0-1713444215855.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="rafaelsansao_1-1713444242987.png" style="width: 600px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1351524i7E273C2E233EA8A8/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="rafaelsansao_1-1713444242987.png" alt="rafaelsansao_1-1713444242987.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 18 Apr 2024 12:42:27 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/powermill-forum/toolpath-unexpected-axis-how-to-fix/m-p/12717273#M1929 rafael.sansao 2024-04-18T12:42:27Z
