[SOLVED] How to make an hole with the helix path?

Post by Giulio Buccini »

Hello Path-people! :D

I would like to make an hole for a washer simply because (I think) the operation it is more fast. In fact, the helix path does not stop the tool to mill another layer (I have do make hundreds of this washer).

Why I get the result below when I apply the operation at the internal border of the 5 mm hole? I'm missing something? :?
(I attach the .fcstd file)

SOLVED.

I had just to go in "Base Geometry" and unselect one of the two faces... shame on me! :oops:

Good to see it working. You can prepend "[Solved]" before the subject of the first post.
