Safe Distance Warnings

[ARTHUR-HM]

I seem to keep having warnings pop up with Safe Distance on a 2D contour toolpath. It'll tell me that the safe distance is higher than the feed height, yet my safe distance is set to zero. If I delete the field, and put 0 back in it, the text changes from red to black, and I can hit okay without the warning. but if I regenerate or do anything to the segment it comes right back.

This happens too even when I have feed height disabled. It has been very frustrating. And it's every and all files I am working with. New or old.

Please attach one of the models giving you this issue.

This would probably be a better thread for the Manufacturing section of the forum.

I made a brand new file, simple model, simple 2D contour. If the warning doesn't show up right away, open the operation up and just hit okay, and it should throw the warning up.

I thought the Support section was for bugs. This is definitely a bug. I have modeled and programed over 2500 parts now in fusion, and this hasn't been an issue until a recent update. It's now throwing warnings on all new and old programs and the warning cannot be removed. Or if I can get it to go away, it comes back if I regenerate the operation.

Oh!

I misunderstood your post. Not a CAM guy 😉 

Yes, you can post bugs here. I venture a guess though that this gets quicker responses on the manufacturing side of things.

Going to tag @seth.madore on of the CAM experts!

Also, something that has emerged as a quasi standard is to put "[BUG]" into the thread title.

Good to know, thanks. Haven't been on the forums lately as things have been running fairly smooth.
I'll remember that tip for next time. Am I able to edit this title? I haven't seen a spot to do so.

Hmmm, all looks OK here, downloaded your sample file, opened it and got no error, did the open and hit Ok and still no error, did a re-generation and still no error.

Checked the file and you have correctly set a "Safe Distance" value that is less than the "Feed Height" value so all is good.

The only way I was able to replicate your warning was to make a value higher.

Obviously not what you wanted to hear but it seems fine to me, currently on Build 2.0.11680 as of a couple of days ago 🙂

Okay, I made a screencast of the issues I am having. 

You'll see me try to fix it, even by just replacing the zero in the safe distance box the warning goes away, until I do anything to that same operation again.

I then show a file (where I cannot show the whole model) but you can see just how many of these warnings keep popping up for me.

I was having this exact problem with a 2D pocket last week. Spoke with Autodesk but they couldn't replicate it. I've looked at your file and I can't replicate it in this instance either... 

FYI @dylan_smith?

Had a good look at your screencast, watched it several times and I see what your issue is but I am unable to replicate it other than by doing the obvious of changing values on either the Feed Height or Safe Distance values.

I have also gone back through a number of older files and all are good so I can only assume it is something tied to your installation of Fusion, hopefully someone from Autodesk will pick this one up and run with it 🙂

My apologies, I don`t even have a "workaround" for you 😞  Good luck with this one 🙂 🙂

I realized this is an old issue, but I came upon this recently.  I discovered that the component was projecting a safe distance based on its distance from the workspace origin.  I was able to resolve the issue by moving the component in design mode closer to origin.  Hope this helps someone.
