Hmm, I believe it means a index is out of range :roll:

Seriously, it's not enough to go on. Can you post a file? Some steps to reproduce? A screenshot?

Well, that's the message it gave me.

This is the Path WB->Created Project->Setup Tool->Loaded Tool->Identified Tool Number (and RPM)->Created a Path Pocket->Got Error.

I'll attach the CAD file.

Thanks

Repeated (as close as I could and got a path)

I'm not sure the path is what you're looking for since pocket can't handle the sloped bottom face, yet. For that, we'll need a much improved surface operation.

Oh! I didn't realize Path wasn't capable of 2.5D yet. :(

Thanks for the help.

Well, surface is capable of some 2.5d stuff but only operating on the entire solid. It isn't smart enough (yet) to work on a single face. I don't think this would be too hard but will require additional work.
