Hi tommyscustomshop,

 

Could you elaborate more on what you feel you can't achieve with the new machine avoid table? Which toolpaths are you using where you feel you can't reproduce old behaviour? It would be useful if you could send me an f3d file with an old toolpath and the new version after the machine avoid table was added that is different. 

 

It sounds like you would like to select one face and set that to machine, with all other faces set to avoid. To do this, create a new face selection group in the table using the plus button, select the face to machine and set the group to machine (that should actually be the default). Then set the model in the table to avoid.  

 

We made some changes to how machine and avoid tolerances work on some of our toolpaths, because we wanted to instate a consistent system where they work the same for all toolpaths. So there are some toolpaths where the behaviour has changed by design. It would be useful to know which ones you are having problems with and see the specific examples.

 

All the best,

Tessa Colledge
