Circular chamfer issue

I've noticed recently that a chamfered hole will not be a continuous tool path all the time now.

 

In other words, I can have a cover that has 6 chamfered bolt holes. 3 of the holes will have a nice fluid tool path around the hole to break the edge. The other holes will have broken tool paths requiring a retract and a second/third entry.

 

No rhyme or reason why it does this. It is random and doesn't always happen, but it is fairly frequent for me. There is no issue of collision, etc. and the holes are perfectly concentric in the model.

 

Anybody else experiencing this or have a resolution. Been using the software for a few years now so I am fairly proficient with it, but this one has me scratching my head.

Yeah, this is a random bug that crops up. Usually opening up the tolerance is enough to resolve the issue. Somewhere around .003" is typical.

 

Can you share your file?

File > Export > Save to local folder. Return to thread and attach the .f3d file in your reply

If the file contains linked components, you will need to break the links.

If the file cannot be shared publicly, you can email me the link and I will address the file privately.

Seth,

I'll email you a file this evening. Appreciate you looking at it for me. I'll try playing with the tolerances as well.
