Making a very simple part, but has to have radius on perimeter. Using a corner-rounding endmill is not an option due to the mounting screws. So I chose a 1/16th BEM.
The path on the "Back" came out fine. Smooth, consistent, all linked together, all correct direction for climb cutting finish.
The path on the "Front" however, which was a copy/paste from the back, then I picked the "front", in order, just like I did with the back section, and this is what I get.
Split/broken links, lots of unneeded tool raises and air movements.
All the path specs are the same. But its giving me an Undesired toolpath.
Changing the tangential extension has no effect. Still splits up the path.
I tried deleting it and starting over, re-picked the arrows, and still, same thing.
Anyone know WHY???
@chrismitchell , here's a couple ideas.
It would be helpful for Inventor to have a "link together" command, to create and force a continuous path.
Better use of the arrows would be nice too. Currently is just up/down or left/right. Why not make the arrow designate lead in and the other side lead out? Simple solutions, just need to program them in.
Thanks for any help on this,
Matt
