"Contact Only" in Parallel Machining

Anonymous
Not applicable

I've machined these before and now I've regenerated the tool paths and they are not sticking to the surface I want machined.

 I've attached a picture showing the result and one showing the chosen surface AND shown that Contact Only is selected.

 

Has this reverted in the last update?

The Model selection in the toolpath is really for adding geometry not included in your Setup definition, such as patched holes or extended surfaces. One thing you can try here is to select that fillet using the Avoid/Touch Surfaces selection tool and check the Touch Surfaces box at the bottom.

 

I highly recommend this webinar recording about how to contain and utilize 3D toolpaths by Marti Deans. The 3D stuff begins at around 44 minutes:
