I find this problematic, or at least the variation I have run into. I was using contours to generate chamfer operations, which required me to disable the "use compensation", which then removes the "In/Out" field from the operations-tab. Because of the quirkiness of setting up the...

I see the same issue on a project here. The outer debur works, but not the inner, and it's unclear how to make this work. Any suggestions? InnerOutterDebur.jpeg I also get no output from the smaller plate cover. It raises an error claiming the "Item is not a shape".... Thanks, Josh OS: Win...

I haven't milled anything in a year or so, and am seeing a bunch of improvements to FC generally, and PathWB in particular. I am encountering a few issues that I hoped for help resolving. For quite a while now, I have been using: OS: Windows 10 Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Ve...

Just to be clear though Chrisb, my file is no different than yours in that it also has only the "cut tool" sketch under the Pipe operation.

Been a while since I've looked much at PathWB, and what a lot of nice improvements! I searched and didn't see anything yet in place for cutting threads using a thread-mill, and figured I'd ask if anyone has experience with setting it up in PathWB. Is it as simple as using the Helix operation and set...

Thread cutting in PartDesign Workbench requires a Part->Create Primitives...->Helix . Once back in the PartDesign workbench, selecting the helix and a thread-cutting shape and selecting PartDesign->Subtractive Pipe , and setting Orientation Mode equal to Frenet, generates a BaseFeature of the Helix,...

Hi Dino, I worked on that in v17. It's been a while, and I stopped work on it a while ago. If I recall, the idea was to select an object, then run the script, but it's been a while... Sorry. I'm curious what your interest is, as Russ has really made OCL very functional for 3d CAM in Path WB? Best, J...

At least Python is a relatively accessible language. Until I started playing with it, I had only programmed 8-bit microcontrollers in assembly language and a C-class 25+ years ago. What was worse was for me was my math skills had been largely unused over that time frame too... While no expert, I fee...

Josh, I'd like to give a go to your approach for waterline milling. I've copied the macro you kindly provided, should I just try to use it as is? Thanks, j. Hi RatonLaveur, You're most welcome to try to make progress, and I wish you every success. I've become very busy with work and don't have much...

As for Water-Lining, it's not significantly different. Here goes: Above, I defined an X-axis/Y-axis tool path, and calculated for each facet edge if there was any interference with that pre-determined tool path. I then adjusted the minimum allowable z value for the bounds of each interference line. ...
