Trouble clearing small areas (Adpative and Pocket clearing not working)

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone! I'm having trouble clearing small areas in my design, and can't figure out why (I've researched similar issues, but the answers weren't useful and I don't understand why).  It's a small kind of microscope, split in two parts to then assemble.  For some reason, I clear one half of it using 3d adaptive clearing and then parallel to smooth it out, but when I try to do the same with the other half (duplicating the toolpath and changing the machining boundry in geometry settings), I would get either en empty toolpath, or the generation process would get stuck at a certain percent (I've seen this happen to other people before, but the solutions given to them didn't work out for me).  I even tried using Pocket clearing instead, but still would get an empty toolpath.

Besides the frustrating part of not being able to find the issue, I can't understand why the same toolpath would work on one half and not the other...

Here's my design: https://a360.co/35PeJ82

PS: I also tried modifying the minimum cutting radius in passes, the smoothing feature, and using a smaller tool. Still no succes...  It might end up being something really simple, I have little experience with Fusion.

Hey Felipe,

So I do not have a quick fix.

However what I have done is duplicate all the tool-path's you made in the group called 'Superior' folder.
Moved them over the to 'Inferior' group and then changed the boundary selection to which one is appropriate.

I can not nail down what the issue is, however this seems to be a fix for now, I will continue looking at this project and forward it onto our developers if this is a bug.

Thanks for reporting this, we really appreciate these types of issues. 🙂

Thanks

Sam
