Solved: Under/Oversizing Features in HSM

Eli_Dexter · ‎02-09-2017

I have let's say 1.000 feature in the CAD Model. Drawing specifies this feature to be 1.000+000/-.005". How to program this feature to be .9975 without physically changing the Model or making a new sketch in the model?

I understand that same thing could be achieved on the machine by specifying the Tool Diameter Offset. I would prefer not doing it this way as I may have to run this part again and again with sufficiently long breaks in between to forget manually changing the tool offset. I would like it to be codded into the tool path.

Thanks

You can use a negitive stock to leave value.

Note, I love to engage on the forums. However, I spend a lot of time in meetings trying to help clear the path for our amazing team of Developers working on Manufacturing at Autodesk. So, if I don't respond immediately, it's not that I don't care.

You've got to think out of the box to get to this solution. But I love it.

Thank You very much.
