[solved] Wrong deep for the pocket

Post by Giulio Buccini »

Hello folks,

I'm trying to mill a simple circular slot (1 mm deep) into a washer made of plastic ABS with Freecad 0.19. The step-down value is just 0,5 mm.

Steps:

1: mill the pocket-slot with zigzag pattern
2: refine the border of the slot

With default settings everything is fine. But when I check the "Use outline" option it makes just the first step-down, so the final deep is only 0,5 mm instead of 1,0.
I'm missing something? :oops:

P.S.
Easy workaround: just enter a wrong deep of 1,5 mm for the slot. But this makes me not sleeping at night.

"Use outline" option unchecked:

Please retry with a most recent 0.19 version. Refining and hole show errors, SlotFor TheWasher is ok here.
