Re: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, and methodists
Hi sliptonic,
i have made a rebuild of my magnetic disc with latest FreeCAD and Path generating works fine, also with the hole in the center (which makes the probs earlyer).
Several points i found, where i don't know "is it wanted or is it a mistake". Point 1: If create a path with the operations "path by surface" or "path by edges", the Final depth is the same like start depth.
Point 2: I'm still missing possibility to set an plunge angle. Is "Lead in Line" the replacement?
If yes, it doesn't show an effect if i change the value. (if no: whats it fore?)
Point 3: "use compensation" shows false, but tool diameter compensation is in use.
Point 4, only a sugestion: The order of the menue could be a little bit more logical, sugestiv (don't know a better phrase for it).E.G. what is listet in "path" could be a part of the menue "Basis". Secound after "Basis" should be "Tool" and setting "start point" should come before "end point".
But thats only my sugestion, other may have a differnt mind of it...

Re: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, and methodists
There's something strange going on here. If I export your shape as a brep and then import it, I can use the imported shape as the base and face profile or edge profile uses the correct depths. This needs some investigation. Please add a bug report.herbk wrote:

I removed the plunge angle setting some time ago because it didn't do anything. No implementation had ever been written for it. We still need an 'entry method' dressup to do helical and ramp entry. Pocketing does have a modified entry method including ramp/helical but only for pockets generated with OCC.Point 2: I'm still missing possibility to set an plunge angle.

The lead-in, and lead-out may not be working. It too needs some work. This is functionality that came over with the heekscnc code and probably hasn't been touched since. They do not affect Z moves at all. The have to do with establishing a start point outside the actual path and then moving laterally into it.
Noted. Please add a bug report for this one too.Point 3: "use compensation" shows false, but tool diameter compensation is in use.
Not much we can do with this. The groups are automatically alphabetized and the properties are alphabetized within the groups.Point 4, only a sugestion: The order of the menue could be a little bit more logical, sugestiv (don't know a better phrase for it).E.G. what is listet in "path" could be a part of the menue "Basis".

Re: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, and methodists
Hi sliptonic,
I made several test, made some parts like the "magnetic disk" only with different massurements, made a path with "path by surface" after each step...
always the same: i got a path with final depth 0...
On a try to help by the investigation i come in mind: don't spemd to much time in this...sliptonic wrote:There's something strange going on here.

Re: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, and methodists
I am glad I am not an actor faced with having to say that line!
Her is a small example that refuses to accept a facing operation: I tried following your example in the youtube tutorial, but it does not want to work on this part. Fine on cuboids, though.
Cheers,
/Chris

Re: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, and methodists
Your job wasn't referencing the Pad object. Once I fixed that, I was able to get a facing operation from it.cahlfors wrote: Her is a small example that refuses to accept a facing operation:

I had a some strange results though but I'm testing in a branch that I've got all hacked up for other reasons. I'll try again the next time I build master.
Re: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, and methodists
Aha, that explains a thing or two!
I thought that the operations would refer to specific surfaces, not the entire part. Fixing that, I was able to create the facing operation for the top level. There is some "air milling", but it seems to do the job. However, I am unable to mill the lower step without milling away the rest of the part.

Re: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, and methodists
Additionally; if you turn off bounding box as the boundary shape and switch to perimeter, you can select just the top face sans the air-mill-op. But dont overlook selecting the Pad object in JOB! However, the bottom face has some issues for me. Investigate extending the passes in Mill Facing:Operation tab.cahlfors wrote:There is some "air milling", but it seems to do the job.
