Wrap toolpath problem?

[thaont.cnc]

I have problem wrap toolpath. This is F360 error?

[DarthBane55]

This should work, can you share the file?

It does work but requires some different selection, as you are no doubt aware you cannot wrap a pocket the full 360 degrees as there are no pocket boundries.

The easiest way I have found if I want to do the full 360 is to do two pockets, I create them so that they overlap by at least the radius of the tool used, that way there is full coverage and toolpath the two pockets, see images below and also attached example file, it is a bit rough but it shows the idea of how I did it, try it on your own file and see what you get, if it works for you then OK, if not aplogies that`s all I have  🙂 🙂 🙂

May not be the best way out there of doing it but it does get the job done  🙂 🙂 🙂

What did I do wrong?

[engineguy]

@thaont.cnc 

Only real difference I can see is that you have used "Surfaces" where I used "Solids" so it is possible that they are not properly "Stitched", try using the stitch facility. Should still work though 🙂

Alternatively can you upload your file for testing ??

I try "solid" and same problem!

[engineguy]

@thaont.cnc 

OK, I was able to get the wrapped solid file to work with a small "workaround", the wrapped surface file I am not able to get that one to work.

I selected the pocket outline and then just one of the islands and toolpathed it, then re-opened to edit and selected the second island and toolpathed it and it worked, I have no idea why it is doing this and what I have is just a "workaround" but it may be enough to get you machining.

It is a selection issue I think and needs reporting, hopefully an Autodesk person will pick up on this, meantime I will try and get it reported myself.

See Screencast below

@seth.madore Can you have a look at this and see if it is a bug with using surfaces for wrapping tool paths. 

[seth.madore]

Sorry, I've not been following this thread much. I will try to take a look at it today and report back.

@daniel_lyall 

Daniel, if you have a look at the file that I created and try doing the pockets on my file, either delete the existing ones or add some new ones you should find that you are not able to replicate the OPs problem, all works fine, it only seemed to happen on files created at the OPs end and the one where Surfaces were used I couldn`t get to work properly at all.

See if you can do the same job at your end from scratch and see if you get the same issues as the OP and if so does the little "workaround" do the same for you ?? I did do my example using just primitive solids, no sketches or surfaces involved.

I have not come across this issue before, nor seen any posts from other users on it either so I am thinking this may possibly be OP installation related ??

@seth.madore 

Seth, I did report this one in the "Support"  section with a link to this thread, so it maybe being looked at already ??

I watched this video and made it with "surface". But have problem!

@engineguy can you link to that thread?

I have created CAM-24251 to investigate this issue, I'll report back when there is more info to share

@daniel_lyall 

Think I have an answer to part of the problem, just had another go at it and noticed that one big difference between the OPs files and my file is that the OP sliced his model at an angle of 35 degrees, mine is done at 0 degrees, I rotated the OP (Solid) file to 0 degrees and it then worked correctly. Strange !!

Will have another look at the Wrapper Surfaces file later 🙂 🙂

It was surely a bug already report a while before but it happens oddly on some models, CAM-21985.
splitting into multiple surface is the current work around
