could you please comment on why this does this really odd ordering (that increases rapid distances? i can easily discern a path between holes that creates a shorter rapid distance by doing a simple left to right up-down pattern. with such a straight forward linear array of holes, i'm not sure why the CAM system does the diagonal moves like this which increases the total rapid distance. all the holes are the same, and all cuts are done within each hole before moving to the next.

 

also, why is there no option in the 3d adaptive strategy for the tool to stay down within the pocket? even with "stay-down level" at "most", it does a full retract in the middle of the individual pocket features.


 

Have you tried checking the 'Order by Area' box? This may help on both fronts.

 

Without a sample it's difficult to troubleshoot though. Can you export it as a .F3D and attach it here?
