Stock model show all and show rest powermill 2017

[Anonymous]

When I create a stock model for op 1 and select - drawing options - show all  it shows the stock model all around the job eg under the under cut and the pocket on the rear end. But when I then select  -drawing options- show rest, it only shows the rest material for op1 and shows nothing under the under cut or rear pocket, but when I come to machine op2 on the job (the other side) and select rest material it wont show the rest material. Ive attached to images to show more clear my issue. its seems like the stock model drapes over the job on op1 so do you need to create a separate stock model for op2 2. Thanks.

When Powermill 2017 first came out stock models did have the ability to show undercuts but the results were not very clean. Starting with SP3 it was removed and has not been incorporated back as of Powermill 2018.1.0.1212141.

What SP are you using for 2017?

hi its Autodesk PowerMill Standard 2017 SP6 we are using

It will not show you undercuts then, you would have to create a second stock model for your op2 setup to show rest material
