Guru, you straight up nailed that path I was looking for!! Thanks so much. At least now I know we can create the path we want, I am still just a bit lost. Are saying in order to program this part, we need to create lines and arc everywhere but that ramped area that will require 3D contouring? Can these problems be solved with a better file for import? Something maybe we can do in our CAD model before we save it?
I guess I am just trying to streamline the process for a part like this and learn what we need to do. How the heck do you selectively create lines and arcs and still leave that ramp 3D? Is there no way to create tool paths like you did with the 3D paths?
Thanks so much for taking time to look at this. I know we are wasting some time here but I am trying use this example as a learning tool right now. We have someone willing to let us use their software so we want to be proficient with it.
Edit: I noticed you added some lines to get those paths on the part. Will we have to do this? Is there no other way?  |
