3D Adaptive: No warning when specifying a max stepdown larger than the flute length of the tool

Tool has .75" of flute but a max stepdown of 1" generates without a warning:

The text in the text field usually turns red and asks if the user is sure so there are no crashes/rubbing/etc.

 

Same tool but with a 2d contour does throw a warning as expected:

it's something in your file for sure, even using other tools from my library it repeats the issue. 

Deriving a 3D contour with a 5. stepdown is also allowed. 

Was this made from a template? I wonder if somehow you overrode the part of the expression that checks against ToolFluteLength

Math.min(tool_fluteLength * 0.75; tool_diameter * 2.5)

File was originally a step file. The toolpath was not created from a template or copy/pasted. 

 

When resetting the expresion to the system default I experience the same behaviour:

If I open a different file > create a new 3D adaptive > select the 1/4 tool (*from either my local library where it has been saved for 3-4+ years or from the file this OP is about in the open documents section of the tool library) I experience the same issue.

yes, as  I said for some reasion your system default was changed from "Math.min(tool_fluteLength * 0.75; tool_diameter * 2.5)" like it is on my end.

Hi yes. It's possible I accidentally overrode the default. So typically I'd assume reverting back to the system default would resolve this but not in this case for some reason?

No, I'm seeing that same behavior on my native files and tools as well (no warning when specifying deeper Max depth than tool allows for). I'll investigate more this evening.
