Changing pocket dimensions
« on: June 21, 2023, 14:05:12 pm »
I created a pocket1 a circle. The pocket was a little too small. So I increased the diameter by .100" .  It will not generate a new tool path.

I've changed other parameters and got a new tool path.

So do I need to create new mop and enter all parameters manually?

I tried copy & paste, that didn't work either.

So just changing primitive ID's is not allowed either?

You need to attach your cb file here otherwise everybody is just guessing.

The things you describe should work so that's why your file with all the settings is required for testing.

Every thing worked fine until  I changed the diameter.

Sorry, thought it would be a simple answer.

It probably is a simple answer. Post your CB file so we can see.

It's in post #1

Pocket 2 has the same problem. I modified polyline 9. Then changed the primitive ID to match. it won't generate code either.

Here you go.

I needed to change the tool numbers in order for the simulator to display correctly. The tool dia is the same .25".  Changed couple of things so please don't use it as is. Best to as an example and go from there. You did have MOP 2 , 5  disabled, it appears that was the issue.

Sorry guy's, I posted the wrong file. That was the one I was working on yesterday. Loaded  it up this morning and  deleted pockets 4&5, fixed tool # and still no tool path. 

Then the light came on. I had the mops  disabled. DAM!! DAM!! DAM!! DAM!!

Any way, thanks too all for trying to help. I just don't use this program enough, and I'll be 82 in November and CRS is hitting me hard it seems.

Thanks again and have a good day.

P.S. It's all working now.

I have that problem.  If I forget to plug in the fridge I have to drink my beer warm too.
