3D Adaptive tool path - avoid hole

[Anonymous]

How do I get the tool path to pass right over the hole, just ignoring it?  I want to mill the large center hole separate.  I am using silhouette.  I tried using Selection but it just wanted to ramp in in the middle.  I want the tool to start on the end for better chip evacuation.  

Thanks in advance!

you have 2 ways you can do it stick a patch on it from the patch works spaces or create a defeature version and use that as your toolpath model.

Actually I think you have to set no boundary. But rest machining from model stock.

That will make it cut right over. But possible also makes it want to rough it out.

To stop that you can turn off machine cavities.

No Boundary did the Trick, Thanks!

Any idea on Parallel? It doesn't have that option.

For the parallel, I would go the route @daniel_lyall suggested.

So covering it up.

what do you mean apply a patch? I have lots of molds where I want the toolpath to ignore ejector pin holes. The best I found was to suppress the feature, run my toolpath, protect it, then un suppress feature. BOBCAD has a "ignore holes" check box.

look in the surfaces workspaces under create, when posts are this ancient it is better to start a new thread.
