Pattern Toolpath in two axes with Alternating Row Direction

[ilyas_drawbridge]

Hi Everyone,

I 'm patterning my toolpath in two directions. I've tried Linear Pattern and Component pattern. The result I get is a diagonal linking between one row and the next, because the pattern always goes from bottom to top. Is there a way to alternate the row sequence, such that the toolpath will snake its way across the rows?

Regards

Ilyas

simple answer NO.

HSMWorks does the same and Probably so does IVCAM.

you'll have to pattern the models and pick each one how you want it to cut, sorry been this way since I started using in 2012.
