Inventor HSM 5.4.1.69, no more feedrate output on circular-pocket-milling

[makko74]

Hi,

when the cycleType is circular-pocket-milling then the cycle.feedrate is 0 ( zero ) on post process.

Can you please fix this, in the past there was no problem with the feedrate output.

Thanks in advance

There is also an following error.

If I used the same tool, that I used for circular pocket, for another operation then all feedrates are set to zero except the plunge feedrate.

I have reported this the day the release was available but it takes a long time to tackle it I believe.

Laurens - Thanks for the information that the problem is known, that's all I need at the moment.

Thanks Mario and Laurens,

we are still investigating the issue for this regression.

Kind regards,

This is still present in the latest release.

And it truly makes it impossible to make a milling program with the software for us.

Can't be a hard fix guys! It used to work.

This is expected to be in the InventorHSM 2018 R4.2 release.

Hi,

in the last Beta 5.4.1.79 is it half fixed..

on post process i get the output for feedrates, but in HSM in the operation dialog i cant it change, here the input boxes for the feedrates are missing.

screenshot: cycle type is bore milling and a milling tool is used.

Now we are in Version 6.1.1.15070 and it still does not work.

May I ask what problems there are to get back a function which worked perfectly in the past or at least a ticket number if one already exists. ( Thanks )

The newest behavior is that the cutting feed is no longer taken from the tool library, instead it is just set to 1000 mm/min, no matter how many times I change it.

I have changed the parameter in the post processor which used for the feedrate.

Heidenhain:

    + "  Q206=" + feedFormat.format(cycle.feedrate) + " ;" + localize("FEED RATE FOR PLUNGING") + " ~" + EOL

changed in

    + "  Q206=" + feedFormat.format(cycle.plungeFeedrate) + " ;" + localize("FEED RATE FOR PLUNGING") + " ~" + EOL

...

When you use the drill function and use there milling options (bore milling or circular pocket milling) the feedrate of

normal feed, lead in and out and helix feed was automatic set up to 1000 except the plunge feedrate (even used by drill tools).

Change this in the post and than you can edit the feedrate in HSM ... or hope Autodesk change it back that all feedrates are editable in the drill-operation.

@FTKnurthanks for your reply.

i have here sinumerik and need feedrate and plungefeedrate for the pocket cycle

the post processor is changed ( already 3 times ) and that is something annoying.

1. change: if a parameter ( feedrate ) in the annotation then take the feedrate from annotation else show a messagebox that the feedrate is 0 and abort the post process.

2. change: if cycle.feedrate != 0 then take cycle.feedrate else 1. change

3. change: if cycle.feedrate != 0 and cycle.feedrate != 1000 then take feedrate else 1. change

4. change ( in the future 😞 undo changes because everything works again as in the past

I can not look at every new HSM version first what is to change in the post processor to respond to new circumstances that worked in the past.

Sorry for the long turn around time on this! The ticket is tracked and fixed as CAM-9945 and should go out with a upcoming release.

Kind regards,

@peter.pretsch

nice to hear, thank you very much.

And with fixed is meant that then everything is back as before?  ( Missing input box for the feedrate, etc. )

@peter.pretsch

Thank you very much, now ( Version 6.1.2.15.078 ) everything is as it was.

The Problem is coming up again in a similar way ...

When I change the Cycle type to bore-milling then some feedrates changed to 1000. After create a new operation (like 2D-Contour) the feedrates are also 1000.

Please FIX this! 2 Tools are destroyed because of this.
