wrap command

[brian.higson]

I AM TRYING TO MILL A 2D ADDAPTIVE PROFILE USING BOTH X AND C AXIS, ON A NAKAMURA WT-150.

THE PROBLEM ARRISES WHEN I CLICK WRAP TOOLPATH I GET THE ERROR "CANNOT UNWRAP CYCLIC GEOMETRY"

I HAVE WATCHED SEVERAL VIDEOS BUT STILL GETTING THE SAME ERROR.

ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED

The file you attached is an .stp, so it doesn't tell us anything about what you were trying to accomplish or what contours you selected to machine. If I had to wager a guess, you want to machine the ramps on the end of the part?

As you found, you cannot select the entire chain in one shot, Wrap doesn't really support 360 degrees of arc on a continuous selection. We can, however, split the selection into multiples by using the ALT key and selecting partials, or using Modeling > Split Face commands to generate break points where they are most advantageous for us.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Yes you are correct I am trying to machine the profile at the end of the part.
I have tried pressing alt as you suggested but fusion keeps reverting to the full profile.
This is the first time I have ever used the wrap command and not well up to speed on fusion. Any help much appreciated.

Give this a watch. There is no audio, it was rather noisy in my shop this morning...

Thank you once again for the prompt reply.
Your video was excellent and very clear to follow. But now the problem is when I try to do 2D adaptive clearing I cannot break the contour and select only 1 side!
Thankyou in advance

That is correct. The 4th axis options in Fusion are, unfortunately, extremely limited. We are working on improving this experience, but it's going to be some time before those see public use.

I think it may be possible with a 3D sketch or patch surface.

One other option is to use 2D Contour and turn on roughing passes, although that will come at the cost of wasted time when "cutting air"
