Hi

I have a part that I am creating a roughing toopath for. I am atempting to use a solidworks file for the part and a seperate solidworks file for the stock which has a large hole in a block to represent a premachine condition.

I do not get a toolpath that recognizes the premachined blank.

Has anyone done something similar? Ideas?

Thank You

Hi

Dont forget to define your model of the stock as an edgecam stock item using the stock/fixtures feature in the geometry pull down menu.

what cycle are you useing --if you are useiing roughing then select the 3-d model under stock type and then click the model
