Ramping constraint issue with predrill and bottom height below hole

Anonymous

I have a model that has some holes in it. I predrill the holes, then go in and pocket them out. I have the bottom height offset set below the model so that I dont get any thin uncut sections at the bottom of the hole. I also have the ramping set to predrill.

 

With this setup the toolpath generates, but I get the following warning:

Warning: One or more passes were discarded due to linking constraints.

Warning: One or more pockets were not machined because they are too small to be reached with given ramping constraints!

Generation completed with 2 warning(s) in 1.3s.

 

If i change the bottom height offset to 0, there are no errors. So obviously the predrill ramping constraint has an issue when the bottom height is below the model for some reason.

This is a known issue, currently under investigation. The solution at this point is to use negative "Axial Stock to Leave"
