Help!!
I do a drawing in autocad and save as dxf
I then open with create and make my tooolpaths
when checking the simulation everything is there…all lines, holes, everything
once I change my stock settings and machine to xl, the simulation goes haywire, missing lines, change back to stock settings and the toolpaths are fine.
tried setup first and then open…didn’t work…still a loss of geometery when toolpath sim is run.
If the job settings are changed back to default 8x8 stock and shapeoko 3 machine, the tool path is perfect abiet not entirely on the stock.
what I did notice was when running the tool path simulation in (default mode) it would take a moment and the “calculation” box would appear and state it’s calculating,
when running the same tool path simulation in “my job setup settings (xl)” the tool path “calculation” box appears and immediately disappears with no “i’m calculating”…if any of that makes sence
xl and xxl doesn’t show all geometry
shapeoko 3 and nomad 883 will show all geometery ( but again my stock size is 30x15 on an XL)
if I keep the 8x8 stock settings and change the machine to XL; I get a good tool path simulation, the second I change the stock size it jacks with the tool path simulation
and for what it’s worth, I thought maybe it’s just what I’m seeing on the screen…the actual tool path was there… so I put a marker on the spindle and ran the file, and what I see in the tool path simulation is what is being sent to the machine
