Fusion doesn't put out plunge feedrate by drilling strategy (circular pocket milling)

[werkplaats32]

Hello

If I use the drilling strategy (circular pocket milling) there is no plunge feedrate anymore sinds the last update (

2.0.15509).

The output of the plunge feed is also 0. (see "No plunge feedrate F0.png" file)

Can you please fix this as soon as possible.

Best regards

Yep, we've logged this ticket and are working on a solution. It's related to the update recently where we changed the drilling feed options

Is there a solution to this issue yet? Having the same problem. Haas Pre-NGC post, that I saved locally, even if adding a feed-rate, post still returns F0. 

Thank you

@TLJFab No, there hasn't been a solution (in using the Drilling toolpath). Since you're on a Haas, why not use the Circular or Bore toolpaths that exist already? It's been my impression that the Drilling "Circular/Bore" were better suited to machines that had specific cycles such as Siemens and Heidenhein

I preferred the circular pocket in the drilling app because it started in a helical pattern from the inside out and included an extra finishing wrap. I've been unable to get bore or circular to do this. There is an option to lead from center but it's in a straight line rather than starting at a smaller diameter then increasing to the specified diameter. I used it a lot. It also had the benefit of setting a drilling op, then copy the op, switch to an endmill select circular pocket, set the diameter, cycle start. Very efficient at making a hole to size. Really would like to see this come back. I've got roughly 100 programs that this is used in, maybe more, now if I need to got back and change something, I have to spend a bunch of time re-working toolpaths because the post will fail every time because of this change.

I am experiencing the same problem.

I have the same problem.  Any solution yet?

I think we've fixed this internally, but if you could mention what post processors you're using, I'll take a look and see

I tested this on a build that will be released at some point in the future, and this is the code:

N35 S10500 M03
N40 G54
N45 M08
N50 G00 X0.9843 Y0.8661
N55 G43 Z0.06 H05
N60 G01 Z-0.0439 F12.4
N65 Z-0.1239
N70 G03 X1.0404 I0.0281 F40.
N75 X0.9252 I-0.0576
N80 X1.0433 I0.0591
N85 X0.9252 I-0.0591
N90 G01 X0.9843
N95 Z-0.2039 F12.4
N100 G03 X1.0404 I0.0281 F40.
N105 X0.9252 I-0.0576
N110 X1.0433 I0.0591
N115 X0.9252 I-0.0591

Looks like it's been fixed, now we just have to wait for that release to go out to the public 🙂

[TLJFab]

Awesome...Thank you very much!!! Will be on the lookout for the release.

[seth.madore]

Just to clarify; I did not specify which release that would be. While it "should" be in the next release, there's always the real possibility that something goes wrong and that particular fix doesn't make it in
